About this fact sheet

If you are a young person of Māori or Pacific Islander background, you may not know if you are an Australian citizen. Being a citizen gives you more rights, like being able to apply for JobSeeker payments.

This fact sheet can help you:

  • work out if you are an Australian citizen
  • get proof that you are an Australian citizen
  • understand some of your rights if you are an Australian citizen
  • find more information and help.

We developed this fact sheet in partnership with Le Mana Pasifika - Centre for Multicultural Youth.
