"Being a celebrant is more than ......
much more than whatever we imagined it could be."
Rona Goold.
As civil celebrants in Australia, our celebrant roles are
evolving. New situations arise and celebrants need group wisdom
and support.

Thus every celebrant is advised to belong to a celebrant association.
State Celebrant Associations
Each state, except Northern Territory and Tasmania, have celebrant
associations. These associations started for only authorised marriage
celebrants. Some now accept student celebrants, and non marriage
celebrant members. Some have broadened their geographic boundaries.
National Celebrant Associations
The longest standing celebrant association with a national focus, the
AFCC, was formed to support the development of civil ceremonies as
alternative to christenings and religious funerals.
Since 2003, a number of
new national associations have developed as support for students and
graduates of celebrant traning courses and of registered training
organisations offering celebrant training.
