The release comprises correspondence, meeting invitations, engagement reports and despatch forms concerning citizenship ceremonies run by the Office for Multicultural Affairs ACT Government, covering April to June 2026. The Department's Citizenship Ceremonies NSW team tracked the council's ceremony capacity and conferee numbers. As at 31 May 2026, 1,400 approved applicants were recorded for the council, of whom 96 were allocated to a ceremony and 1,304 were not yet allocated. Reported awaiting-invitation figures ranged from 1,074 to 1,437 across the period. Scheduled ceremonies included several sessions of 130 allocated conferees and one of 30. Monthly approvals were compared with acquisitions, with March 2026 showing 224 approvals against 59 acquisitions. The ACT side sought larger ceremony sizes for the rest of the year, and the records note operational roadblocks. Certificate despatch forms (Form 1432) for June 2026 ceremonies are included. No enforcement, detention or cyber matters are discussed.
