About This Topic

The Australia and Its People section is often the broadest part of the citizenship test. It covers everything from Aboriginal culture and the gold rush to modern Australian society and its place in the world.

Consider how this aspect of Australian culture connects to the nation's values of fairness, mateship, and giving everyone a fair go. Cultural knowledge and values often overlap in this section. This question is at a moderate difficulty level, similar to what you can expect on the actual citizenship test. Understanding the reasoning behind the answer is key.

Study public holidays and their significance, especially Australia Day (26 January) and Anzac Day (25 April). Understanding what these days commemorate is a common test topic.
