Episode Summary:
A person can become an Australian citizen in different ways. Conferral and descent are the most common ways to become an Australian citizen provided you meet certain criteria before you apply.
According to the Australian Citizenship Act 2007, a person born in Australia is an Australian citizen if and only if:
a) a parent of the person is an Australian citizen or a permanent resident, at the time the person is born; or
b) the person is ordinarily resident in Australia throughout the period of 10 years beginning on the day the person is born.
In this podcast we shall explore what it means for a child to be ordinarily resident in Australia and how he/she may acquire their citizenship when they turn 10, regardless of their parent’s citizenship or immigration status.
