EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Marriage Equality (Same Sex) Act 2013 allows same sex couples who cannot marry under the Commonwealth Marriage Act 1961, because of the way marriage is defined under that Act, to enter into a marriage under Australian Capital Territory law.

The first fee is for Deputy Registrar-Generals to perform a marriage.  The determination includes a fee of $322 for the performance of a marriage by a Deputy Registrar General.  
The fee is the same amount as the previous fee under the Civil Unions Act 2012. 

The second fee is for an application from people who wish to be an authorised celebrant. The determination provides for a fee of $169 for applications to be registered as an authorised celebrant.  The fee is the same amount as the previous fee under the Civil Unions Act 2012.
