Join us at the Sydney Royal Easter Show Citizenship ceremony to hear a live reading of Free by Nature.

At the 2026 Show, 400 conferees will also take one of the biggest steps of their lives and receive Australian Citizenship, taking a pledge and oath to officially call Australia home.

The ceremony is open for all Showgoers to witness, is incredibly moving and serves as a reminder to all of us how blessed we are to live in the land Down Under.

RAS Patron, Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC, Governor of New South Wales will act as Presiding Officer, alongside RAS President John Bennett OAM, and other government representatives.

See you there!
