Citizenship
Becoming an Australian citizen is a special occasion and an important decision that will impact on the rest of your life and the future of your children. It represents the beginning of a new period in a person's life, demonstrating their allegiance to Australia and the Australian way of life.
Council hosts a number of Citizenship ceremonies a year. When the Department of Home Affairs has approved your application, it will inform you by letter. You must then wait for the Department of Home Affairs to advise Council of the date and time of the ceremony which they have allocated you.
Council will then immediately advise you of the date and time of your ceremony and other relevant information. If you have been approved but have not received a letter from Council and you have any enquiries about the date of your ceremony, you can call the Citizenship Information Line on 131 880.

Important information
- All client information is handled by Department of Home Affairs, NOT Council.
- Only the Department of Home Affairs can allocate clients to attend a ceremony, NOT Council.
Please note: Quite often the Department of Immigration Customer Service line advises clients to contact the local Council for information in regard to ceremonies. This information is not correct. Until Council has been informed that a person has been allocated to the next ceremony, we do not have access to any client information.
