As you have citizenship from a prescribed country If you want to retain your PNG Citizenship then you have to make arrangements to retain your Dual Citizenship Status but you have until just before you turn 19.  Knowing how government bureaucracy works it may be wise to start planning now.

If you are a PNG Citizen aged between 18-19 years, and you already 
hold Dual Citizenship, you are required to:
 
1. Renounce Citizenship of the other country(s) for which you hold Citizenship; or
 
2. Seek approval by the PNG government to hold Dual Citizenship with a prescribed country (Australia, Fiji, Germany, New Zealand, Samoa, United Kingdom, United States of America or Vanuatu); or  
 
3. Renounce your PNG Citizenship.  
 
PNG Citizenship is automatically lost if options 1 or 2 are not
completed by the age of 19 years.
