Citizenship Ceremonies

The Shire of Wyalkatchem is proud to welcome new Australian citizens to our community.

Citizenship ceremonies are held by the Shire when required, providing an opportunity for new citizens to make the Australian Citizenship Pledge and formally become Australian citizens.

Applying for Australian Citizenship

Australian citizenship applications are managed by the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs.

For information about applying, eligibility and the citizenship process, visit the Department of Home Affairs – Australian Citizenship website.

Once your application has been approved, you will be provided with information about attending a citizenship ceremony.

Congratulations to Wyalkatchem's newest Australian Citizen, Mrs. Nirjubala Ratanpara, who made her pledge at the Citizenship Ceremony held at the Council Chambers on 19 December 2019.
