Our Mission

Oz Kiwi formed in 2013 to campaign for the fair treatment of New Zealanders living in Australia. The organisation wound up in June 2024.

Our mission was for all New Zealanders who have made Australia their home to have a fair pathway to citizenship, and equitable access to government services after no more than five years residence in Australia.

On Saturday 22 April 2023 the Albanese Labor government announced a new direct pathway to Australian citizenship for New Zealanders living in Australia.

History of Oz Kiwi

We have created a timeline of our achievements and hurdles we had to overcome. From coming together in 2013 to form the Facebook group, our petition being tabled in Parliament in 2015, and other key milestones.
