Australia has outlined two age-based categories of applicants who do not need to sit its citizenship test, allowing eligible individuals to meet this part of the naturalization process without taking the examination.
According to the Australian government's official guidance, the exemptions apply to applicants at both ends of the age spectrum. The relevant age is the applicant's age when they submit their citizenship application.
The first category covers applicants aged 17 years or younger when they apply for Australian citizenship. Individuals in this age group do not need to sit the citizenship test.

The second category includes applicants aged 60 years or older at the time of application. They are also exempt from the testing requirement.

Applicants who are between 18 and 59 when they apply do not qualify for these two age-based exemptions.
They generally remain required to sit the citizenship test as part of the application process, unless they qualify for another exemption under Australia's rules.
