Australian Values › Citizenship
What is the Australian citizenship pledge?
- An agreement to renounce all other citizenships
- A promise to serve in the military if required
- A commitment to share Australia's democratic beliefs, respect its rights and liberties, and uphold its laws as a citizen
- A promise to speak only English
Why this is the correct answer
At a citizenship ceremony, new Australians recite the Australian Citizenship Pledge, committing to share Australia's democratic beliefs, uphold its rights and liberties, and fulfil the responsibilities and obligations of citizenship. This pledge is a meaningful public commitment rather than a legal contract or a renunciation of other ties.
