The first Australian citizenship ceremony took place on 3 February 1949. At Albert Hall in Canberra, seven people from seven nations became citizens. Each one represented each state of Australia and the Australian Capital Territory.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The journey to becoming an Australian citizen is often a culmination of hundreds of small decisions and choices that bring conferees to their special day. New citizens are officially recognised as being \u2018Aussie\u2019 and formalise their membership of the Australian family. New citizens often refer\u00a0to becoming a citizen as one of the most significant moments in their lives. Citizenship provides for a shared identity which unites all Australians while respecting our diversity.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>We encourage all Australians to support and welcome your community\u2019s newest Australian citizens by attending a local citizenship ceremony. Contact your local government council for more information on how you can attend.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>You can also watch live the Governor-General and the Prime Minister mark Australia Day in Canberra at the National Citizenship and Flag Raising Ceremony.
