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 theDepartment 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 2026 will be held at Albert Hall, 47 Tamar St, Launceston TAS 7250. Doors will open at 1pm and the ceremony will commence at 2pm on the following dates:
