There are a number of Justices of the Peace located within our City. Find out more below.
About Justices of the Peace
A Justice of the Peace acts as an independent and objective witness to documents used for official legal purposes. You must bring a physical copy of each document you need to be witnessed.
Please note: If the document requires a third-party witness to be present (separate from the JP) then the customer must supply this witness themselves when visiting the JP.

** JPs will be unavailable from 24 December 2024. They will be returning from Monday 6 January 2025.
We have volunteer JPs available at our Civic Centre from Monday to Friday 10.00am to 1.00pm.
No booking is needed, however please note that JPs are volunteers and there may be some occasions when they are unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances.
The JP is located in a meeting room just inside the glass sliding doors from the courtyard area opposite the Main Hall (if you are walking from Westfield Booragoon and the Civic Square Library side). There is signage and a waiting area with seats.
One client is allowed in the room at one time. The client must provide their own blue or black pen.
