Australian values on the citizenship test

Five of the 20 questions are about Australian values, and you must get every one of them right, whatever your total. The Australian values on the citizenship test come from Part 4 of Our Common Bond. In the book’s words, they’re based on freedom, respect, fairness and equality of opportunity.

  • commitment to the Rule of Law
  • parliamentary democracy
  • freedom of speech, freedom of association and freedom of religion
  • equality of all people under the law
  • equality of opportunity and a ‘fair go’
  • mutual respect and tolerance for others

Under ‘Our community’, it covers making a contribution, compassion for those in need, English as the national language, helping to keep society safe, and loyalty to Australia.

How to study Part 4

Read Part 4 more than once. Notice where it draws a firm line, for example that religious laws have no legal status in Australia, that protests must be peaceful, and that violence against a partner is a crime. Episode 5 of the Home Affairs podcast covers the same part.
