As of  3 February 2010 a person who applies to be registered as a marriage celebrant will need to hold the Certificate IV in Celebrancy or an equivalent university qualification to meet the qualification requirements for registration.

The new Certificate IV in Celebrancy comprises 13 units of training: five compulsory units and eight electives. The list of electives includes four units that are compulsory units, especially written for marriage celebrancy.

The following five compulsory units in Celebrancy must all be undertaken:

  • CHCADMIN305D-Work with the administration protocols of the organisation
  • CHCCEL401A-Work effectively in a celebrancy role
  • CHCCEL406A-Identify and address client needs in a celebrancy role
  • CHCCOM403A-Use targeted communication skills to build relationships
  • CHCCS400A-Work within a relevant legal and ethical framework

In order to meet the statutory requirements for registration as a marriage celebrant you will also need to complete additional units from the list of elective units which are mandatory for being registered as a marriage celebrant. Those units are as follows :

  • CHCCEL402A-Establish and maintain knowledge of legal responsibilities of a marriage celebrant
  • CHCCEL403A-Develop an effective relationship with a marrying couple
  • CHCCEL404A-Plan a marriage ceremony in line with legal requirements
  • CHCCEL405A-Conduct and review a marriage ceremony in line with legal requirements

Finding a training provider

To locate training organisations accredited to offer the Certificate IV in Celebrancy and their contact details, please visit the  National Training Information Service (NTIS) website. Enter the qualification code 'CHC42608' in 'Search for', and tick 'RTO's by scope' in 'Search in".

Universities may also offer courses in celebrancy. Currently, the only university offering equivalent training to the Certificate IV in Celebrancy is Monash University in Victoria, which offers a Graduate Diploma Civil Ceremonies (Monash).

Your training provider (whether a registered training organisation or a university) must also meet additional requirements, specified by the Registrar of Marriage Celebrants in a written determination, in respect of the four mandatory marriage celebrancy units.
