A South Burnett Regional Council citizenship ceremony held in 2017 on the night BEFORE Australia Day … under the new rules, the ceremonies must be held (like this year’s event) on January 26<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 1, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Local councils throughout Australia have until the end of February to provide feedback to the Federal Government about proposed changes to Citizenship ceremonies.<\/p>\n

Immigration Minister David Coleman recently wrote to councils seeking feedback on the proposed changes.<\/p>\n

Under the new code:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Councils must hold a citizenship ceremony on Australia Day (January 26) and Australian Citizenship Day (September 17)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Federal MPs, if present, should read the Minister\u2019s message<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • There will be a recommended standard of dress for ceremonies, which will be set by councils. The attire should reflect the significance of the occasion. The new citizens may wear national or cultural dress if they wish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • Ceremonies must be scheduled to avoid Parliamentary sitting days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
