Become a VCANZ accredited celebrant
Only CANZ members are eligible to apply to become a VCANZ Accredited Celebrant, a great opportunity to further demonstrate your commitment to providing services of the highest professional standard.
Accreditation also adds legitimacy and credibility to your celebrancy offerings and assures your clients you are providing a high quality service backed up by the CANZ code of ethics and professional standards.
As a member of CANZ you have the opportunity to show evidence of ongoing professional development in all aspects of celebrancy through the VCANZ program. Once you have achieved VCANZ you are entitled to carry the letters VCANZ after your name on all your collateral. You are also then able to apply to BDM to officiate registry weddings in your city or region. VCANZ members may also be added to our list of Presenters.
