Divorce is the legal end of a marriage.
If your marriage has broken down and there is no chance of reconciliation you might be entitled to apply for a divorce. A precondition for making an application for divorce in Australia is that the marriage has broken down irretrievably, which is established once the applying party proves that they have been separated for twelve months or longer.
