READ NOW‘Many JPs who are over 70 and cannot sit on the bench, or over 75 and cannot handle police paperwork, would be ideal for our signing room.
‘The majority of our clients have affidavits, statutory declarations and certified copies.’
Cr Newton said there was also a need for an after-hours service that could be provided for two hours on a Thursday evening.
‘This may suit JPs who are unable to volunteer during the day due to work commitments,’ she said.
‘Upon checking the Attorney General’s website there are in of excess of 30 JPs listed under the 6065 postcode.
‘With many JPs living in surrounding suburbs, it should be possible to fill the rosters.’
Cr Newton is calling for JPs who can spare four hours every six or seven weeks to call her on 0407 981 149.
