CHAPTER 14 – NEW ZEALAND CITIZENS IN AUSTRALIA 26 January 1949 to 19 August 1986 A child born in Australia was an Australian citizen at birth unless they were the child of a diplomat. Automatic acquisition of citizenship on 10th birthday A child born in Australia on or after 20 August 1986, who did not acquire Australian citizenship at birth, automatically acquires it on their 10th birthday if they have been ordinarily resident in Australia for 10 years from birth. This provision operates regardless of the parent’s migration or citizenship status, unless the parent was a diplomat. Hence, a child born in Australia in 1986 and who did not acquire citizenship at birth, but was ordinarily resident in Australia would have automatically become an Australian citizen on their 10th birthday in 1996. For further information on the interpretation of ‘ordinarily resident’, see Chapter 1 – Preliminary and Definitions. 10 as at 15 February 2008
