Who is authorised to conduct a marriage ceremony?:
Marriages in Australia are conducted in accordance with the Marriage Act 1961 (Cwlth) which provides for three classes of celebrants who may solemnize marriages. These include:
** Ministers of religion of recognised denominations (church related);
** Other officers of a State or Territory or other fit and proper persons authorise by the Commonwealth Attorney-General (civil celebrants and others of non-recognised denominations); and,
** Persons who, under the law of a State or Territory, have the function of registering marriages (delegated staff of Birth, Death and Marriage Registries). Please note A.C.T. Births, Deaths and Marriages does not solemnize marriages.
Marriages in the A.C.T. may be performed by a celebrant authorised as a marriage celebrant under the Marriage Act 1961 (Cwlth). You should check the Register of Marriage Celebrants maintained by the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department to ensure your proposed celebrant is authorised to perform marriages. The register includes civil marriage celebrants and marriage celebrants from both recognised and non-recognised religious denominations.
