Australian Citizenship – Study Course – January 2020

Citizenship CeremonyThe Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District is offering a free course for anyone seeking Australian Citizenship. The course is centred around a study of the questions contained in the test. The course is free and commences on Tuesday, 21 January 2020.


There are many advantages of becoming a citizen of this country but before we talk about that, let’s have a look at who can become a citizen of Australia.

Anyone living in Australia for four years as a permanent resident can apply for Australian Citizenship.

There are many other ways to attain citizenship too, for example:

  • Anyone born in Australia to a permanent resident or citizen will become an Australian citizen.
  • If one of the parents is an Australian citizen, a child born overseas can be registered for citizenship ‘by descent’. They will have the same rights as children born in Australia.
  • Spouse or partner of an Australian citizen.

Criteria for applying for Citizenship

  • You need to be a permanent resident before applying for citizenship.
  • Should not have been absent from Australia for more than 1 year in total throughout that period.
  • Pass citizenship test
  • Meet the ‘good character’ requirement (including passing Police Checks)
