Government services are now more accessible for people on the Gold Coast, with citizenship testing now available at Services Australia's Biggera Waters Service Centre.
Biggera Waters is the first citizenship testing site for the Gold Coast, and the first Services Australia service centre to deliver such large-scale testing - offering up to 100 tests a week.
The service is now available at 44 service centres across the country, with Services Australia delivering more than 2,800 tests every month.
Citizenship testing at the Biggera Waters Service Centre is a partnership between Services Australia and the Department of Home Affairs.
The test consists of 20 multiple choice questions to demonstrate an applicants' knowledge of Australia, the English language, understanding of what it means to become an Australian citizen and their commitment to Australian values.
Biggera Waters Service Centre is located at 97-99 Brisbane Road Biggera Waters, and is open from 8:30am - 4:30pm, Monday to Friday.
The Department of Home Affairs allocates the date, time and place of appointments, which can be rescheduled through the Department online.
