Your responsibility to be active and available as a justice of the peace
The Honorary Justices Act requires that justices of the peace be reasonably active and available to the general public.
This means that, unless there are exceptional circumstances, your contact details must be included on the 'Find a Justice of the Peace' search on justice.vic.gov.au.
