2025 Compulsory Professional Development
Real consent (2025 refresher) – compulsory – 25AGD001
This activity reviews fundamental aspects of real consent, including parties’ capacity to understand the nature and effect of the marriage ceremony. It will do so via several scenarios that authorised celebrants may face, involving:
- older parties,
- parties who are hospitalised,
- the requirement for separate meetings,
- the issue of forced marriage.
What you need to do
Step 1: Read the booklet above for the compulsory activity.
Step 2: Answer the questions in the marriage celebrants portal.
Find out more, including how to submit your responses, in the booklet and on the portal.
Note: There are 2 compulsory professional development activities for 2025. The second activity is a knowledge of the law activity (25AGD002) and is available in the marriage celebrants portal.
To fulfil your 2025 professional development obligations, you must complete and submit both activities by 31 December 2025.
