==Australia== {{See also|Oath of Allegiance (Australia)}} All members of the [[Australian Parliament]] are required to take before taking their seat in Parliament an Oath or Affirmation of Allegiance before the [[Governor-General of Australia]]. The requirement to take the oath is set out in section 42 of the [[Australian Constitution]]<ref>{{cite book |title=Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act |publisher=Commonwealth of Australia |url=http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Australia_Constitution_Act |pages=Chapter I, Part IV, clause 42 |year=1900}}</ref> and the wording of the oath and affirmation are set out in a schedule to the Constitution. The oath is: {{blockquote|I, (name), do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles the Third, His heirs and successors according to law. So help me God!}} The affirmation is: {{blockquote|I, (name), do solemnly and sincerely affirm and declare that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles the Third, His heirs and successors according to law.}} Upon taking office, the [[Governor-General of Australia]] is required to take the above Oath of Allegiance as well as a second Oath of Office: {{blockquote|1=I, (name), do solemnly and sincerely swear (or affirm) and declare that I will well and truly serve His Majesty King Charles the Third, His heirs and successors according to law, in the office of Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia, and I will do right to all manner of people after the laws and usages of the Commonwealth of Australia, without fear or favour, affection or ill will. So help me God!<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gg.gov.au/oath-office |title=Oath of Office |publisher=Office of the Official Secretary to the Governor-General |access-date=18 September 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140126092551/http://www.gg.gov.au/oath-office |archive-date=26 January 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref>}} In case of affirmation, the phrase “So Help me God” is hereby omitted. In addition to swearing, the Oath of Allegiance upon becoming a Member of Parliament, the Prime Minister, Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries also recite an Oath of Office upon entering office. The wording of this oath is not prescribed within the Constitution and is ultimately determined by the Prime Minister of the day. Traditionally the oath has repeated the swearing of allegiance to the Sovereign, although this is not required.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_Departments/Parliamentary_Library/pubs/BN/2012-2013/OathsAffirmations |title=Oaths and affirmations made by the executive and members of federal parliament since 1901 |date=3 June 2013 |publisher=Parliament of Australia |access-date=18 September 2013}}</ref> The current Oath of Office is: {{blockquote|1=I, (name), do swear that I will well and truly serve the people of Australia in the office of (position) and that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles the Third, King of Australia. So help me God!<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.irishecho.com.au/2013/09/18/pm-abbott-sworn-in-on-royal-oath/28902 |title=PM Abbott sworn in on royal oath |date=18 September 2013 |publisher=Irish Echo |access-date=18 September 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150414093643/http://www.irishecho.com.au/2013/09/18/pm-abbott-sworn-in-on-royal-oath/28902 |archive-date=14 April 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref>}}
