Australian Values

96 practice questions with detailed explanations

The Australian Values section is one of the most important parts of the Australian Citizenship Test. Every candidate must answer all five values questions correctly to pass — there is no room for error in this section. These questions test your understanding of the values that underpin Australian society, including respect for the freedom and dignity of the individual, freedom of religion, commitment to the rule of law, parliamentary democracy, equality of opportunity, and a spirit of egalitarianism.

Australia's values are outlined in the official resource "Australian Citizenship: Our Common Bond." Key values include mutual respect, compassion for those in need, and the importance of a fair go for all. Understanding these values is not just about passing the test — they represent the shared beliefs that unite Australians from all backgrounds. The values section is based on the official "Australian Citizenship: Our Common Bond" booklet, which all citizenship applicants should study thoroughly.

Many test-takers find this section challenging because the questions require a deep understanding rather than simple memorisation. You need to understand why these values matter and how they apply in everyday Australian life. Practice with the questions below to build your confidence and ensure you are fully prepared for this critical section of the exam.
