Neighbour and Justice of The Peace, Ian Law, holds a drop-in JP Service at The Pear each Friday morning between 8:45am – 9:45am for all your document sighting, witnessing and signing needs. Make sure you bring all the documents you need a JP to look at and Ian will help you out.
If you need a JP but can’t make it on Friday mornings, Ian is generally happy to make a time to meet with people at The Pear on other days if he is available.
Should you need a JP on another day, contact hello@neighbourhoodnode.com.au and we will put you in touch with Ian to arrange a time.
