Justices of the Peace Branch (JP Branch) has restarted the JPs in the Community program across Queensland.
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.
