RELATIONSHIP EDUCATION SERVICES

Part of my responsibility as a Civil Celebrant of Australia is to provide all marrying couples with sufficient information about relationship education.

This information outlines the obligations and consequences of marriage and indicates the available marriage education services and counselling. The purpose of this is to assist in the promotion of creating lasting and healthy marriages in Australia.

Under the Code Of Conduct for marriage Celebrants of Australia I am obliged to supply all clients with a brochure of this information at a private meeting. However, in an effort to convenience my clients I have also provided more information and services below for anyone that is further interested in positively working on their relationship.
