Do you need to take the Australian citizenship test?


Are you getting ready to take the Australia citizenship test? Congratulations – this is a big step toward becoming an Australian citizen!

The citizenship test is an important part of the application process. It’s designed to check your understanding of Australia’s values, history, and government system. It’s not meant to trick you – in fact, with the right preparation, many people find it straightforward and even enjoyable!

What’s in the test?

The Australia citizenship test is in English and includes 20 multiple-choice questions. To pass, you’ll need to get at least 75% correct – that’s 15 out of 20 questions.

These questions cover:

  • Australian history and culture
  • Democratic beliefs and rights
  • Government structure and responsibilities
  • National symbols and traditions

You can expect questions like:

  • What is the capital of Australia?
  • What do we remember on Anzac Day?
  • What is the role of the Governor-General?

Can I take an Australian citizenship practice test?

There are plenty of free resources available online to help you get ready. We recommend:

  • Reading the official resource book Australian Citizenship: Our Common Bond
  • Taking online practice tests to get comfortable with the format
  • Watching videos that explain Australia’s history and democratic values
