In Australia, people are free to meet for social or political discussion

Australian values form the bedrock of the citizenship test. Every applicant must show they understand and are committed to values like mutual respect, compassion, and the democratic way of life that Australians hold dear.

When approaching this values question, remember that Australian values are interconnected. Freedom of speech, for example, supports democratic participation, and the rule of law protects individual freedoms. This is a foundational question that tests basic knowledge. Getting comfortable with questions like this will build your confidence for more complex topics.

After each practice session, review any values questions you got wrong and identify which of the four core values was being tested. Tracking your mistakes by value category reveals exactly where to focus your revision.
