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.
