Citizenship

Membership to the Yidindji Chamber of Commerce (Y.C.C.) is open to all Yidindji citizens and those in the process of becoming citizens.

The 3 steps for applying for citizenship are listed below. These 3 Steps must be completed within 3 weeks of applying to become a Y.C.C member.

If you need assistance, please contact us. 

Step 1

Find out more about the  Yidindji Nation

Decide if citizenship feels right for you by having a look around the Sovereign Yidindji Government (SYG) website, and downloading and reading the Citizenship Handbook. Watch the short Application Process Video below...

(At this stage, please simply view the video - don't take any of the actions outlined in the video - we'll guide you through those steps at the appropriate time). 

Step 2

Choose your Tribal name

Choose your new (Tribal) Yidindji Name. This can be anything of your choosing (so long as it does not have obscene or derogatory connotations). It may relate to a place of special significance or an ancestor or person who is especially loved. It may relate to a quality/ideal which calls you forward or be a name that you can 'grow into'. It may be a nickname you already possess.

Your Tribal Name must be totally different to your Australian or Registered Name.
