WHAT WE DO
The aims and objectives of the NSWJA are to promote, protect and assist the rights, character and interests of Justices of the Peace in New South Wales, to keep them informed, and to advise them on their duties. The Association is the advocate for all JPs in New South Wales and has established cooperative working links with the New South Wales State Government.

The NSWJA produces a journal three times a year. With articles of relevance, this journal keeps JPs up to date, for example, when any changes are made to the roles, duties or relevant laws. The Association offers a training program, and since the year 2000 has organised an annual conference.

The Association encourages academic achievement and awards prizes in Administrative Law within the Faculties of Law at the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales.

In addition, the after-hours JP Search function is available here and will be the main avenue for the community to access witnessing officers.
