2026 Test Guide

The Australian Values Section: Your Complete Guide

The values section is the most important part of the citizenship test. You must answer ALL 5 values questions correctly to pass. This guide will show you exactly how to prepare.

Why the Values Section Is Different

General Questions

15 out of 20 correct

(75% pass mark)

Values Questions

5 out of 5 correct

(100% required)

This is the #1 reason people fail the citizenship test. Even if you score 20/20 on general knowledge, getting 1 values question wrong means you fail.

The 4 Australian Values

Respect for the freedom and dignity of the individual

Every person in Australia has the right to be treated with respect, regardless of their background.

What they might ask:

  • equal treatment
  • individual rights
  • personal freedom

Freedom of speech and freedom of association

Australians can express their opinions openly and choose who they spend time with.

What they might ask:

  • right to protest peacefully
  • joining organisations
  • expressing political views

Freedom of religion and secular government

People can follow any religion or no religion. The government does not favour any religion.

What they might ask:

  • separation of church and state
  • religious freedom
  • secular laws

Rule of law and equality under the law

Everyone must follow the same laws, and no one is above the law — not even the government.

What they might ask:

  • equal treatment by police and courts
  • laws apply to everyone
  • independent judiciary

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  1. 1

    Confusing Australian values with Australian laws — they overlap but are not the same thing

  2. 2

    Rushing through values questions — take your time, these 5 questions matter more than any others

  3. 3

    Not studying values separately — general test prep may not give you enough values practice

  4. 4

    Memorising answers without understanding the meaning — the test may phrase things differently
