Citizenship ceremonies

The City of West Torrens conducts citizenship ceremonies on behalf of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship Services. Ceremonies are conducted throughout the year as required.

The Department of Immigration and Citizenship Services allocate all applicants to attend a ceremony in order of approval date and will invite applicants to attend a ceremony which will be held at a location to be determined by the Council.

A Citizenship Ceremony is being held for City of West Torrens applicants on Thursday 18 April 2024 at 9.30am at the Thebarton Community Centre. Only applicants who receive an official invitation from the Department of Home Affairs will be eligible to take the pledge and receive citizenship at this ceremony.
