Australian Citizenship Statistics

Massive Increase in Citizenship Grants.

A record number of people became Australian Citizens during the 2019-20 year.

This is a great improvement on the previous years. It is also a surprising number following the restrictions originally imposed due to the COVID-19 coronavirus issues.

Citizenship ceremonies were initially suspended, until they were able to create a ceremony system without contact.

In 2019-20, a total of 204,817 people became Australian citizens by conferral, representing over 200 different nationalities.

This means that 684,106 people gained Citizenship by conferral in the five years between 1 July 2015 and 30 June 2020.  This is a 13.5% increase on the previous five year total of 602,494 grants conferred between 1 July 2010 and 30 June 2015.
