在哪里申请
Online via ImmiAccount at immi.homeaffairs.gov.au — the strongly preferred channel for Form 1300t (general eligibility). Paper applications are still accepted in limited circumstances (no internet access, complex character cases) by post to the Department of Home Affairs, but they take longer and are not recommended. After lodgement, you will be invited to a citizenship appointment at a Home Affairs office for the citizenship test, identity check, and interview.

The base citizenship-by-conferral fee for general applicants on Form 1300t is A$575 (effective 1 July 2025; fees are CPI-indexed every 1 July). A concession fee of A$80 applies if you hold a valid Australian Government Pensioner Concession Card, or if you are under 18 and listed as a dependant on one. Refugees, humanitarian-visa holders, stateless applicants under s21(8) of the Citizenship Act, British/Maltese former child migrants, and former permanent-forces members with 90+ days of service are fee-exempt. Children under 16 included on a parent's Form 1300t pay nothing extra; a child applying alone on Form 1290 pays A$240. The citizenship test itself is included in the application fee — there is no separate sit-fee. All fees are paid via credit card in ImmiAccount when lodging and are non-refundable, even if the application is refused.

Department of Home Affairs publishes citizenship-by-conferral processing benchmarks: 90% of applications are processed in around 8 months from lodgement to decision (a marked improvement on the 18-month benchmark from 2023, driven by digital identity checks and a streamlined ImmiAccount workflow). After approval, you must attend a citizenship ceremony to make the pledge — 90% of approved applicants are invited within 6 months, though wait times vary significantly by local council (some monthly, others quarterly). Plan for a realistic 10–14 month end-to-end timeline from lodgement to becoming a citizen.
