Are you looking for a way to give back to your community?
Justices of the Peace (JPs) and Commissioners for Declarations (Cdecs) in the JPs in the Community Program work under the authority of the Queensland Justice of the Peace Branch, Department of Justice and Attorney-General.
At sites throughout Queensland, these volunteers have donated 135,000 hours, assisted over 673,000 clients and witnessed over 1.9 million documents.
Site coordinator for JPs in the Community at Mt Pleasant, Ted Mullan, said the service needs more volunteers to ensure it can continue.
“Generally, at Mt Pleasant, two Justices are rostered each day however occasionally this is curtailed when a member is unable to attend,” Mr Mullan said.
“The Mt Pleasant team would like to increase our numbers to ensure we are able to effectively provide this important and most satisfying community service.”
JPs in the Community Program members are qualified JPs or Cdecs who are initially appointed by the Queensland Justice of the Peace Branch into a mentoring program at a signing site of their choice.
It’s not all work and no play, Mr Mullan said the group will get together for social outings as well.
Qualified JPs or Cdecs may apply for inclusion in this exciting program by speaking with a team member at Mt Pleasant or accessing the Justice of the Peace Branch online.
