The citizenship ceremony is where a person formally becomes an Australian citizen. At the ceremony, they pledge loyalty to Australia and its people.
What Our Common Bond says
- At the citizenship ceremony, a person pledges loyalty to Australia and its people.
Common mistakes
- Thinking the pledge is to a monarch, a government of the day, or a state or territory — it is to Australia and its people.
- Confusing this pledge (loyalty to Australia and its people) with the other parts of the pledge covered in Part 2 and Part 3.
