Citizenship

The City of Launceston takes great pride in welcoming people from around the world who become Australian citizens.

The Department of Home Affairs oversees citizenship applications. Please see the Department's website for information around eligibility and how to apply. 

Ceremonies

The presentation of a Citizenship Certificate is the final step to becoming an Australian Citizen. The City of Launceston conducts Australian Citizenship Ceremonies on behalf of the Department of Home Affairs.

Our role is to provide a ceremony where conferees are required to pledge their allegiance to Australia and its laws, after which they receive their Certificate of Australian Citizenship.

Once you have received approval notification from the Department, the Council will include you in the schedule for the next public citizenship ceremony. Ceremonies are held four times a year (approximately every 12 weeks). 

Citizenship ceremonies in 2024 will be held at 10.00am at the Tramsheds Function Centre, Inveresk on the following dates:

Wednesday 24 January 2024

Friday 12 April 2024

Wednesday 24 July 2024

Tuesday 12 November 2024
