Marriage Equality in Newcastle
Marriage in Australia is open to two people regardless of sex or gender.
The law changed on 9 December 2017, and the same legal process now applies to all couples.
What that means here
Our paperwork-only marriage service is for all couples.
The legal rules are the same for everyone:
- the same NOIM
- the same legal wording
- the same witness rules
- the same registration process
Our approach
We provide a civil, private celebrant service in plain language.
If you want a simple legal marriage without the fuss of a big wedding, you are welcome here.
