Same-sex marriage campaigners are celebrating the historic 'Yes' vote in favour of legalising same-sex marriage in the government's voluntary postal survey.
Australians have had their say, delivering an almost 62 per cent 'yes' vote for same sex marriage, while about 38 per cent were against it.
It's paved the way for the country's marriage law to be changed, but that won't happen before parliament can agree on the legislation
Nearly 80 per cent of eligible voters took part in the survey.
Every state and territory recorded a majority 'yes' result over 60 per cent, with the exception of New South Wales, which was below that.
Just hours after Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull arrived back in the country following his trip to Asia, he welcomed the news, saying it's time to respect the voice of the people.
"It is unequivocal, it is overwhelming. They are our masters, we who were elected to parliament. It is our job now to get on with it, get on with it and get this done. It is fair. The people have voted yes for marriage equality. Now it is our job to deliver it."
