Frequently Asked Questions
Questions asked by interested candidates about becoming a registered marriage celebrant.
What are the eligibility requirements to become a civil celebrant?
It is quite a complicated process to go through, to become a registered civil celebrant in Australia. You can view the full list of requirements here.
How long does it take to complete the marriage celebrant training?
Different Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) have different schedules for their students. You need to check schedules out with a variety of RTOs before you enrol with one, to make sure their timetable fits in with your expectations and your ability to complete the course within a given time-frame.
What is the scope of the civil celebrant as a career option?
Civil celebrants have become very popular in Melbourne, especially over the past few years. Three out of four marriages in Australia are conducted by civil celebrants. In order to become a civil celebrant, you need to complete a Certificate IV in Celebrancy and meet other requirements set out by the Marriage Act 1961. But if you wish to be a funeral celebrant, or wish to conduct naming ceremonies or renewal or vows ceremonies or commitment ceremonies, there is no such requirement. Anyone can do those.

You can contact me via email or via WhatsApp (myWhatsApp number is +61410456327). We can have a chat about the course, I can answer any questions you may have, and I can recommend a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) that might suit your needs.
What makes a good civil celebrant?
A good civil celebrant is warm, friendly, polite and professional. They know their stuff – you will be able to sense this quickly in your first conversation or communication with them. I think a good celebrant is also energetic, someone who is genuinely interested in you, who asks more questions of you and what you’re after, than tells you about themselves. The person you choose to be your celebrant is going to be front and centre on your special day. You need to like them, be able to trust them, and know that they can do a wonderful job working with you to create a ceremony that you and your guests will remember long after your wedding day. And you need to get a sense that they are calm and able to handle stress in a mature manner. Above all, they must be a great fit for both of you. If they’re not, then keep looking!
