FA 22/07/00404 
Question: 
I would like Number of applications waiting to be allocated to the Citizenship ceremony (who have 
been approved but are now waiting to be allocated to a ceremony) specifically for Strathfield 
Council, of which I am a current resident. 
Response: 
As at 29 July  2022, there were 208 people whose applications for Australian citizenship by 
conferral had been approved and who were waiting to attend an Australian citizenship ceremony 
conducted by Strathfield Council (NSW).   
Caveats: 
• This information is provided for the specific purpose of this request.
• It is the responsibility of the area providing the Department of Home Affairs information to
external stakeholders to ensure that the disclosure is in accordance with the ABF Act, Australian
Privacy Principles or other relevant legislation.
• Regarding Immigration data, the Department’s current policy is to mask numbers which are less 
than five as <5, noting we are reviewing the confidentiality method for the future.
