Recognition of same-sex unions in Oceania

Debate has occurred throughout Oceania over proposals to legalize same-sex marriage as well as civil unions.

Currently two countries and seven dependent territories in Oceania recognize some type of same-sex unions. One Oceanian country, New Zealand, and seven territories, namely French Polynesia, Guam, New Caledonia, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Pitcairn Islands and Wallis and Futuna allow same-sex couples to legally marry. One country, Australia, recognizes unregistered cohabitation as well as six of its jurisdictions having some form of civil unions. Additionally, as a territory of Chile, Easter Island performs civil unions.
