On Monday 8th June 2020, the Acting Immigration Minister, Alan Tudge, stated that “Face to Face Citizenship ceremonies” will be resuming very soon.

The Government is also working to resume citizenship testing and interviews as soon as possible.

The Government has resumed in-person citizenship ceremonies with local councils invited to begin hosting small events where safe to do so and in line with the latest health advice.

Now that restrictions are easing, councils will once again be able to host small ceremonies in line with the public gathering requirements in their state or territory.

Online ceremonies will continue for councils unable to host physical events safely so we can continue to see as many people as possible enjoy the privilege of becoming citizens.

These online ceremonies have seen some faster than normal Citizenships being finalised. One that took 8 months from start to finish was mentioned earlier today.
Previous figures showed that 75% were finalised in up to 20 months.

More have been finalised in the last two months, than in any other recent 2 month period.
