The JPs in the Community Program is back, with JPs available next to Canungra Library every Wednesday from 10am to 1pm.

Three JPs including Peter Kent and Lyn Price (pictured) are on a roster system each week to sign and witness documents as part of this free service.

In 2003, the Justices of the Peace Branch formally established the JPs in the Community Program in Queensland.

In Queensland in 2022, 3,531 volunteers in the Program witnessed 1.86 million documents for over 624,000 clients.
