Stuart Ayres MP, Member for Penrith has congratulated Mr Ross Graham of South Penrith, for 50 years of service to the community as a Justice of the Peace.

“Mr Graham is one of the longest-serving JPs in the state, who has donated countless hours of his time to helping local people,” Stuart Ayres said.

“Most people require the services of a JP at some point in their life – such as when they buy a house or need documents certified – and Mr Graham has always been happy to assist.”

“Serving as a JP for half a century is a remarkable achievement and Mr Graham is well deserving of this recognition.”

Justices of the Peace serve as an independent witness to documents people use for official or legal purposes. Their duties include witnessing the signing of statutory declarations and certifying copies of original documents. JPs provide their services on a voluntary basis.
