Shares for all of Australia and for each state are our calculation from the council figures, weighted by the number of people waiting (councils shown as "<5" left out).

What the numbers mean
The figures count people whose citizenship application has been approved and who have not yet attended a ceremony, including people already invited, on 30 September 2026. The waiting time is counted from the date of approval to 30 September 2026: it is how long they had been waiting so far, not how long their whole wait will be. Home Affairs masks numbers from 1 to 4 as "<5", and some percentages do not add up to 100% because of rounding.

How councils and Home Affairs organise ceremonies
From the Home Affairs ceremony wait times page:
- Citizenship ceremonies are usually organised by local government councils.
- Which council-hosted ceremony you will attend is determined by your current residential address.
- You cannot choose where and when to attend your ceremony.
- You will be invited to attend your ceremony about four weeks before the event.
- You will receive a letter of invitation from either your local council or the Department of Home Affairs.
- The wait time for a ceremony depends on the demand in your local government area.
- Having family members linked to your application may also affect your wait time.
How long the whole application takes
Home Affairs says 90% of applications for citizenship by conferral are processed within 5 months, and from application to ceremony 90% took up to 11 months. See Australian citizenship processing time for the full table.
Questions people ask
How long is the wait for a citizenship ceremony in Australia?
Home Affairs says 90% of approved applicants have the opportunity to attend a ceremony within 6 months of approval (Citizenship processing times, updated 16 October 2026). It depends on your council: on 30 September 2026, 67,636 approved applicants were waiting in 539 council areas, and about 2% of them had been waiting more than 6 months since approval.
Can I choose the council or the date of my ceremony?
No. Home Affairs says: "Which council-hosted ceremony you will attend is determined by your current residential address. You cannot choose where and when to attend your ceremony."
When will I get my ceremony invitation?
Home Affairs says: "You will be invited to attend your ceremony about four weeks before the event. You will receive a letter of invitation from either your local council or the Department of Home Affairs."
Where are the citizenship ceremony dates for my council?
Home Affairs does not publish ceremony dates. Councils organise most ceremonies and many list their dates on their own website; the invitation tells you the date and place of your ceremony.
What does "<5" mean in the table?
Home Affairs masks numbers between 1 and 4 as "<5" for privacy. 130 of the 539 councils show "<5".
