Citizenship

The Shire of Kalamunda has the pleasure of coordinating Australian Citizenship Ceremonies for approved applicants who live within the Shire.

Ceremonies are held at the Shire’s Administration Centre on a regular basis, with a special Ceremony held at History Village on Australia Day every year.

The Citizenship Ceremony is a solemn act of law, through which you take on a new status, a new destiny here in Australia, and wherever you may travel in the world it is a status of which you may be proud.

As Australians you will be members of a community which is democratic and which everyone has an equal right to life, liberty and freedom of opportunity.

By becoming Australian Citizens you are showing that you want to belong and that you want to have a say in Australia’s future.

No one who applies for Australian Citizenship is expected to renounce their cultural identity, customs or traditions which are part of their heritage.  Australia’s own heritage is enriched by contributions from people from many lands, your contributions!

To apply for Australian Citizenship contact the Department of Immigration and Citizenship on 131 880, or go to www.citizenship.gov.au to download the necessary forms.
