It takes courage, endeavour and commitment to live in a new country and participate fully as a citizen. We value your contribution to our peaceful and democratic society.  \nAustralian citizenship is an important step in your migration story. Becoming an Australian citizen means that you are making an ongoing commitment to Australia and our shared values. It is also the beginning of your formal membership of the Australian community. It is the step that will enable you to say ‘I am Australian’.  \nAustralian citizenship is a privilege offering enormous rewards. By becoming an Australian citizen, you are joining a unique national community. Our country has been built on the contributions of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the democratic institutions we inherited from Britain, and migrants from all over the world. We celebrate our diversity, and at the same time strive for a unified and harmonious nation.  \nA strength of the Australian community is that we work together to solve problems and shape Australia’s future. We have a stable system of government, and Australians respect the authority and laws of the government. Our stability, our culture and our laws have been shaped by our history. By joining the Australian community, you will add to Australia’s story and you will be in a position to help shape it.  \nAustralia is an ancient land. It is vast and unique. It is a country of rainforests and woodlands; of beaches and deserts; and of cities and farms. Our Indigenous cultures are the oldest continuous cultures in the world. We are also a young nation; a nation of migrants. European settlement in Australia began in 1788 and we continue to welcome new migrants today.  \nPeople from more than 200 countries have made Australia their home. As a result, our society is one of the most diverse in the world.
