If you wish to organise a tour, please contact the Electorate Office. If Bryson is in Parliament on the day he may be able to meet your group and make your visit even more informative.

Electoral enrolment

If you need to enrol to vote for the first time or you have changed addresses you will need to fill out an electoral enrolment form. 

Forms are available at the Callide Electorate Office or you can be enrol to vote via the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) website. You can also update your electoral roll details via the AEC website.

The AEC manages enrolments in federal, state and local government elections.

Become a JP or Commissioner for Declarations

Justices of the Peace and Commissioners for Declarations are highly-respected members of the community who play an important role in modern society. They are voluntary workers in Queensland’s legal system and perform a range of judicial and administrative functions. In a complex legal environment these people provide a variety of specialised services to the legal system and the Queensland public. Deb is able to nominate community members who wish to become JP’s. Just drop your documents into the Electorate Office.

The duties of a JP (Qualified) are more onerous than those of a Commissioners for Declarations. If you would like more information please visit the Attorney-General and Justice website.

How to Find a JP

If you need the services of a JP, the Department of Attorney General and Justice  provides an online listing of JP’s in Queensland.

In Queensland there is around 2200 JPs and C.decs volunteering their services to witness documents. This community service is a convenient way to obtain the signature of a JP or C.dec.

JPs in the Community signing locations can be found at various venues throughout Queensland including:

  • Major shopping Centres
  • Libraries
  • Court Houses
  • Universities
  • Hospitals
