Justice of the Peace Service

This service will be unavailable on Tuesday 20 December 2022.

The Queensland government’s “JPs in the Community” program was started to give the public consistent and easy access to witnessing services throughout Queensland. A number of local Justices of the Peace have volunteered to help the community by witnessing documents at the Burdekin Library in Ayr. These generous volunteers offer their services between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM on Tuesdays.

There is an online search for witnessing officers through this link - After-hours JP Search.
