The Australian values section is a mandatory part of the Australian Citizenship Test where you must answer all 5 values questions correctly to pass. These questions test your understanding of 4 core Australian values: respect for individual freedom and dignity, freedom of speech and association, freedom of religion and secular government, and rule of law and equality under the law.
General Questions

(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.
Every person in Australia has the right to be treated with respect, regardless of their background.
What they might ask:
Australians can express their opinions openly and choose who they spend time with.
What they might ask:
People can follow any religion or no religion. The government does not favour any religion.
What they might ask:
Everyone must follow the same laws, and no one is above the law — not even the government.
What they might ask:
Confusing Australian values with Australian laws — they overlap but are not the same thing
Rushing through values questions — take your time, these 5 questions matter more than any others
Not studying values separately — general test prep may not give you enough values practice
Memorising answers without understanding the meaning — the test may phrase things differently
Practice only values questions until you get 100% every time
Every mock test includes exactly 5 values questions, just like the real exam
