We are a not for profit association enabling authorised witnesses to serve the South Australian community.

Meet the founder (sorry, he's been dead for over 100 years, but the legacy remains)

The formation of a Justices’ Association in South Australia assumed practical shape on 8 August 1898 when at a large meeting of Justices held in the Adelaide Town Hall Reception Room and presided over by the Lord Mayor, Mr. Chas Tucker MP, it was resolved that such an Association be formed. It was hoped that the Association would tend to a still more satisfactory administration of Justice by setting its members higher ideals, inspiring a more profound sense of responsibility and promoting knowledge and efficiency: “I will do right to all manner of people after the laws and usages of this State.” Our Association’s Vision for the future is to be recognised as the peak body for Authorised Witnesses.
