Easter public holidays

JPs in the Community locations will be closed on Friday 3 April 2026 to Monday 6 April 2026 for the Easter break. Services will resume as usual on Tuesday 7 April 2026.

If you require urgent witnessing assistance, please use the after-hours search to locate a JP or Cdec in your area.

Use this search to find a JP or Cdec at shopping centres, courts, libraries and a variety of other locations, or search for an after-hours JP.

JPs and Cdecs are trained Queenslanders who can witness and certify your routine legal documents. For example, wills, affidavits, statutory declarations and enduring documents.
