Australian citizenship is the legal status that gives someone full rights and responsibilities as a member of Australia.

Citizenship also represents a formal commitment to Australian laws, values, and community participation.

Government citizenship application fees
As of 1 July 2026, the standard citizenship by conferral application (Form 1300T) costs $595, with a concession rate of $85 for eligible applicants, and no fee for a child aged 15 or under included on a parent's form. Citizenship by descent (Form 118) costs $380, plus $160 for each additional sibling applying at the same time. Resuming citizenship (Form 132) costs $255, and evidence of citizenship (Form 119) costs $290.
Legal and professional service fees
Legal costs depend on how complex your application is and whether there are issues such as residency concerns or prior visa complications.
Additional document preparation costs
These can include police certificates, document translations, identity verification, and travel history records.
Typical processing times for citizenship applications
Citizenship processing time varies depending on case complexity, but generally ranges from several months to over a year.
Factors affecting processing delays
Delays can happen because of incomplete applications, additional document requests, identity verification checks, or character assessments.
We provide clear, structured guidance throughout the citizenship process, from eligibility assessment through to final approval. Our approach focuses on accuracy, compliance, and careful preparation to minimise delays and reduce the risk of refusal. We assist with both simple and complex applications, with tailored legal support based on your circumstances.

Adelaide was founded in 1836 as a planned free settlement, attracting British and German migrants who shaped the city's early character and gave South Australia its distinctive reputation for religious tolerance and social reform. The post-World War II era brought significant waves of migrants from Italy, Greece, and Eastern Europe, many of whom settled in Adelaide's inner and western suburbs and contributed to the city's growing manufacturing and construction industries.
