A Justice of the Peace
Justices of the Peace are citizens who are entrusted
by their community to take on special responsibilities. A Justice of the Peace in Australia
is a 'lay' magistrate whose role is to assist members of the
community with practical, and generally routine, legal and administrative
matters.
A Justice of the Peace outside of Australia
A Justice of the Peace appointed in Queensland has a role in any community.
In summary, this role is:
- For any Australian citizen: a full range of functions for matters related to Queensland.
- For any Australian citizen: a full range of functions for matters related to Australian Commonwealth matters.
- For any Australian citizen and for matters NOT related to Queensland or Australian Commonwealth matters: case by case. Assistance for many matters for other Australian States can be provided but each case needs to be carefully checked and verified.
- For citizens of other countries: No Authority for any non Australian matters
