Justices of the Peace at libraries

NSW Justices Association Wollongong Branch provides free JP services at Community Desks at Thirroul, Corrimal, Wollongong and Dapto libraries.

The association holds a monthly meeting for its members and other JPs on the second Tuesday of the month at the City Life Church in Jardine Street in Fairy Meadow from 7pm.

Meetings include some training and special training sessions also take place throughout the year to keep JPs up to date with any changes in the law regarding the duties of a JP. Help is also available for the exam that new JPs have to take, and then repeat every five years to keep their accreditation.

All services given by JPs are free of charge. They cannot give legal advice and there are certain forms and documents that they are unable to sign or witness but they can assist you in finding where these can be dealt with.

Representatives of the NSW Justices Association will be available at Thirroul Library on January 6 from 10am to 1pm.
