Just Married fact sheet: eloping in australia

An elopement for many people means running away to get married in secret – usually somewhere far away from home.

For others, it just means having a small wedding.

If you’re considering an elopement in Australia, and you live overseas, you would be interested to know that most countries recognise a marriage conducted in Australia as a marriage for the purposes of your home country’s laws.

You should definitely check your personal situation in your home country, but often you will find that if you get married in Australia you will be ‘legally married’ at home.

Rest assured that with Just Married Weddings you will be married fully in accordance with Australian law.
