We waited about 4 months after approval (may have been a little longer) as our shire only did one ceremony a month. We're in Melville.

My sister also got approved straight away after her test linked to my application. However she went back to the person conducting her interview after the test. Someone just asked if I passed my test and then said I could left. Hopefully this did not influence my approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope if we can get Australia day ceremony. I have heard that they hold big ceremonies on Australia day and invite a lot of people to take oath.
