Membership of the Association is open to anyone who has been appointed as a Justice of the Peace of the ACT.

The Association was formed in 1990 to represent ACT Justices of the Peace, with the aim to:

• promote, support and protect the status and interests of Justices of the Peace generally; and

• promote honourable practice, repress malpractice, settle disputes, and decide questions of usage or courtesy between Justices of the Peace within the Australian Capital Territory in a non-sectarian and non-political manner.

We seek to do this, and keep our members up-to-date and informed, through publication of a quarterly journal, Justice Matters, the Members Area of this website, and holding members' seminars.  The Association also prepares and/or distributes legal and/or other suitable literature affecting Justices of the Peace, their functions and interests.

Importantly, and by no means least, the Association organises events to promote and encourage social fellowship amongst members.

Membership is inexpensive, and the benefits are many.  Come and join us!
