This is the current requirement...

4. I would like to become an Australian citizen but I haven't been in Australia long enough
To apply for Australian citizenship you would need to have been in Australia for at least 2 years as a permanent resident in the last five years. This time must include a total of twelve months in the two years immediately before making your citizenship application. The twelve months does not need to be continuous.
