Australia’s citizenship fees by application and concession

Identify the application before comparing prices

The two conferral forms use different fee bands. General eligibility lists AUD 595 and other situations lists AUD 365. The schedule gives different rates for descent, adoption, renunciation, resumption and evidence of citizenship. Source 1

The concession has a specific evidence requirement

Home Affairs names an eligible Pensioner Concession Card and lists conditions for the holder and card. The schedule excludes other card types such as a Health Care Card. Provide the evidence described on the form if you apply at the lower rate. Source 1 Source 2

Sibling pricing is a different reduction

The descent and specified adoption categories list AUD 380 for the first application and AUD 160 for each subsequent sibling applying at the same time. Those rates are separate from the conferral concessions. Source 1

An exemption follows a separate process

Home Affairs lists fee exemptions for specified categories and sets out the evidence needed. The fee form says applicants requesting an exemption cannot apply online. Check the applicable form instructions before choosing a submission route. Source 1 Source 2
