Australian Citizenship

Australian citizenship gives you the right to call yourself Australian. But first you need to understand what Australia stands for and what are the Australian values.


Australians are a young nation. And a multicultural one. People from more than 200 countries call Australia home.Different ethnic backgrounds, different cultures, families speaking many languages at home – and one single nation.

Australian Values

Respect for the other, tolerance, equality and freedom are just some of the Australian values.

You can recognise them on a daily basis, in your neighbourhood or at work.

Or follow the acts of the many humble heroes who volunteer to help others during hardships, whether fires or floods.

Heroes come in all sizes and shapes. Some are men and women who took part in various conflicts around the world. Others are ordinary people showing courage, empathy and commitment in extraordinary circumstances.

And they all come together during the big national celebrations such as the Anzac Day, which unites all Australians: war veterans and people from all walks of life displaying mateship every day.

Diversity is paraded with great pride by veterans and their families, young and old, men and women, marines, pilots, students, entertainers.
