About the Australian Citizenship Test
The Australian Citizenship Test, administered by the Department of Home Affairs, is required for most permanent residents seeking Australian citizenship by conferral. The test is based on the official handbook, Australian Citizenship: Our Common Bond, and assesses your understanding of Australian values, traditions, history, government, and responsibilities of citizenship.
Questions are drawn from the published study guide and an additional set of values-based questions that all applicants must answer correctly to pass. This reviewer drills the topic mix and question types you can expect on test day at a Home Affairs office.

Frequently asked
What score do I need to pass the Australian citizenship test?
You must score at least 75% overall (typically 15 of 20 questions correct) AND answer all 5 values-based questions correctly. Missing any single values question means you fail the test even with a high overall score.
Is the Australian citizenship test multiple choice?
Yes. The test consists of 20 multiple-choice questions delivered on a computer at a Home Affairs office. Questions are randomised for each candidate.
Can I take the test in a language other than English?
No. The Australian citizenship test must be taken in English. Practising in English is essential - applicants must also meet the basic English language requirement separately.
