If I have German travel document for refugees do I need visa to Visit Australia?

Currently, Australian borders are closed with few exceptions to foreign nationals due to Covid-19 pandemic. Parents of an independent adult are not considered immediate family for the purpose of exemptions. Weddings are also not usually considered a compassionate and compelling reason to travel.

At this time, even if you obtain a visa, you won't be allowed to come to Australia without good reasons and an exemption by the Australian government.

Only a citizen of Germany (or other eligible countries) with a valid passport is eligible to visit Australia under eVisitor scheme.
