Australian Citizenship Day was first celebrated in 2001. The Australian Government established the day in 2001 in response to a recommendation by the Australian Citizenship Council in their 2000 report Australian Citizenship for a New Century.
Acquiring citizenship helps you stay indefinitely in Australia as well as to re-enter the country whenever you want. You also get the privilege of staying outside Australia as long as you wish to. An Australian citizen returning to the country does not have to stand in long queues at the immigration counter.
