Upcoming citizenship ceremonies

The Department of Home Affairs manages the Citizenship program including the policy around citizenship ceremonies, and the list of conferees who have been approved for citizenship and are ready to attend a ceremony.

Once your Australian Citizenship application has been approved, you will be invited by the Department to attend your ceremony.
