Relationship Register

This is in NSW , and I believe all States would have one.
To me this looks likes the "equality' that they want and already have. Fancy that.

The NSW Relationships register commenced operation 1 July 2010. It provides legal recognition for a couple, regardless of their sex, by registration of the relationship.

• Eligibility
• Same Sex Marriages
• How to apply
• Things to keep in mind
• If a relationship breaks down
• Withdrawing an application

Adults who are in a relationship as a couple, regardless of sex, can apply for registration of their relationship, provided at least one of them lives in NSW. Adults in both heterosexual and same-sex relationships are eligible to register.
A relationship cannot be registered if either person is:

• under 18 years old
• married
• in another registered relationship
• in a relationship as a couple with another person, or
• if they are related by family.

A couple does not have to live together to be eligible to register their relationship.

• You are eligible to register your relationship in NSW if you have been married overseas in a same sex marriage.
