About AME
What is AME?
Australian Marriage Equality (AME) is a national, membership-based organisation working for equal marriage rights for all Australians regardless of their gender or sexuality. We have members and supporters from across Australia and overseas. AME believes that a person’s gender or sexuality should not affect their legal rights and responsibilities under Australian marriage law. As a membership-based organisation, AME relies entirely on the generosity of its members and other supporters in the community.
See: Constitution of Australian Marriage Equality
What has AME achieved?
AME has been at the forefront of campaigning for marriage equality since it was established in 2004. Our priorities are lobbying, advocacy and education. Our achievements include:
- gaining institutional support for marriage equality from human rights organisations, unions and businesses
- obtaining recognition of same-sex marriages by government agencies like the Bureau of Statistics
- research and polling showing increased support for reform
- publication of key educational materials and the convening of seminars, forums and workshops
- increasing support for reform among legislators
- keeping marriage equality high on the national political agenda.
