Anyone living in Australia on a valid visa for four years, with at least one year of residence as a permanent resident can apply for Australian Citizenship.
Children born onshore in Australia to Permanent Residents or Australian Citizens can become Australian Citizens.
Children born offshore to Australian Citizens can also be granted Citizenship “by descent”.
Being a spouse or partner of Australian citizens enables one to apply for permanent residence visa which can eventually lead to attaining Australian Citizenship as well.
