Australian law (Marriage Act 1961) stipulates that marriage ceremonies may only take place between a man and a woman.

Commitment ceremonies, following the form of a marriage ceremony, but omitting the words required by law, may take place between a man and a woman where both parties do not require the solemnisation of their union under the law.

The union of same gender couples, can also be accommodated in a commitment ceremony, which usually takes the form of a marriage ceremony, with the omission of the words referring to the male and female gender, and the legal wording required in the Marriage Act 1961.
