Citizenship Ceremony Dates

The Department of Home Affairs will contact new citizens with the details of citizenship ceremonies as they are announced.

The Path to Citizenship

Before you can become an Australian citizen you need to first contact the Department of Home Affairs to find out if you meet the criteria.

If you are eligible, you'll be asked to complete an application form, pay a fee and attend a short interview. The Department of Home Affairs will notify you (in writing) if your application is successful and contact you again to advise the date, time and location of your citizenship ceremony.

If you are a resident of City of Newcastle, your ceremony will take place at one of our historic venues.
