Australia Citizenship Act 2007

The Australia Citizenship Act 2007 is the law that governs how people can become Australian citizens. It sets out the rules for eligibility, including residency requirements, good character, and language skills. The Act also covers the process of applying, the types of citizenship (such as birth registration or naturalization), and the circumstances under which citizenship can be lost or revoked. Its purpose is to ensure that citizenship is granted fairly and consistently, balancing individual rights with national security and community values. Overall, it provides a clear legal framework for becoming and maintaining Australian citizenship.
