Do you want to be a JP or Commissioner for Declarations?

Justices of the Peace and Commissioners for Declarations are highly-respected members of the community who play an important role in modern society. They are voluntary workers in Queensland’s legal system and perform a range of judicial and administrative functions.

In a complex legal environment these people provide a variety of specialised services to the legal system and the Queensland public.

To become a Justice of the Peace (JP) or Commissioner for Declarations (C.dec) you must be:

 

• an Australian citizen

• at least 18 years old

• of good character

• correctly registered on the state electoral roll and

• undertake prescribed training and be deemed competent.

 

All new applicants seeking appointment as a JP or C.dec must first successfully complete a prescribed training course from a Registered Training Organisation. The training course provides the specific competencies required under the roles and responsibilities of JPs and C.decs.

Our legislation is becoming increasingly more complex and placing higher expectations on our JPs and C.decs. JPs and C.decs handle important documents which may have a significant impact on a person’s life. It is therefore important that they are properly trained in how to provide these services.

The duties of a JP (Qualified) are more onerous than those of a Commissioners for Declarations. If you want more information please read the Justice

Department website by clicking on this link.

 

Application forms are available from Trevor’s Electorate Office, If you have any further questions, or would like Trevor to mail you an application form just contact the electorate office.

Request a Queensland flag

Those eligible include schools, tertiary institutions, Scouts, other youth organisations, service associations such as Rotary and Lions, welfare and ethnic organisations, sporting clubs, historical societies, museums, show societies, local fire brigades and the like.

Queensland teachers and students who have been accepted into an overseas educational institution are eligible to receive one for presentation to that institution.

Applications may be made by emailing or writing to the electorate office. If you need more information regarding eligibility, please contact our office.
