Citizenship ceremonies
We host citizenship ceremonies approximately every three months which are presided over by the Mayor of the Blue Mountains.
Once a candidate is approved for Australian Citizenship, the Department of Home Affairs will send a letter to advise the candidate when they will be allocated to a ceremony.
All candidate application information and allocation to ceremony dates is managed by the Department of Home Affairs.
If you are invited to a ceremony and are unable to attend, you will be reallocated to another ceremony date by the Department of Home Affairs.
All enquiries regarding Australian Citizenship are referred to The Department of Home Affairs on 131 880.
