Who we are
The NSW Justices Association was established in 1911 and is the principal professional body for Justices of the Peace in New South Wales.
We are a non-political, non-sectarian, not-for-profit association with more than 2,800 members across the state.
Our organisation includes 23 Branches and several Support Groups, which meet regularly to support and connect our members.
The Association maintains an ongoing affiliation with the Magistrates Association of Great Britain.
What we do
The NSWJA exists to support and represent Justices of the Peace throughout New South Wales. We promote and protect the rights, reputation and interests of JPs, provide timely information on duties and legal changes, and offer guidance on best practice.
The Association works collaboratively with the NSW Government to ensure Justices are well-informed and effectively supported in their voluntary service.
We publish a quarterly journal that delivers relevant updates, articles and insights affecting the JP role. In addition to this, we provide comprehensive training programs and have convened an annual conference since 2000.
The NSWJA also recognises academic excellence in Administrative Law at the Universities of Sydney and New South Wales.
A variety of merchandise is available exclusively to our members, with popular items such as discounted rubber stamps.
