AUSTRALIAN VALUES STATEMENT
This statement must be signed by the member of the family unit if they are applying for a visa to migrate to Australia, unless the member of the family unit is seeking to be added to an existing visa application which was lodged before 15 October 2007. If the member of the family unit is not applying to migrate then they do not need to sign this statement.
I confirm that I have read, or had explained to me, information provided
by the Australian Government on Australian society and values.
I understand that Australian society values:
• respect for the freedom and dignity of the individual;
• freedom of religion (including the freedom not to follow a particular
religion), freedom of speech, and freedom of association;
• commitment to the rule of law, which means that all people are
subject to the law and should obey it;
• parliamentary democracy whereby our laws are determined by
parliaments elected by the people, those laws being paramount and
overriding any other inconsistent religious or secular ‘laws’;
• equality of opportunity for all people, regardless of their gender,
sexual orientation, age, disability, race, or national or ethnic origin;
• a ‘fair go’ for all that embraces:
– mutual respect;
– tolerance;
– compassion for those in need;
– equality of opportunity for all;
• the English language as the national language, and as an important
unifying element of Australian society.
I undertake to conduct myself in accordance with these values of
Australian society during my stay in Australia and to obey the laws of
Australia.
I undertake to make reasonable efforts to learn the English language, if it is not my native language.
I understand that, if in the future I meet the legal qualifications for
becoming an Australian citizen and my application is approved, I will
need to pledge my loyalty to Australia and its people.
