Most applicants for citizenship by conferral aged between 18 and 59 years will have an appointment to sit the citizenship test. Others may only have an interview with us.
The test assesses your English language skills and what you know about Australia and Australian citizenship.
Australian Citizenship: Our Common Bond is all you need to prepare for the test. The Department does not endorse or recommend any external courses that claim to help you prepare for the citizenship test, including paid external apps.
