Marriage
This is the official site of the Australian Marriage Celebrants Program. Anything you read elsewhere that is inconsistent with this site is not accurate.
The Australian Government Attorney-General's Department provides information on the institution of marriage and the legal requirements involved. It is important to understand what steps to take in the lead up to getting married. Marriage is regulated by the Marriage Act 1961.
The Department also administers the Marriage Celebrants Program through the Marriage Celebrants Section of the Civil Justice Division. Marriage Celebrants are also regulated by the Marriage Act 1961.
