Authorised Witness Australia Inc. is a not-for-profit association committed to ensuring the public receives accurate and reliable witnessing of their essential 'cradle to grave' documents. We offer professional development for authorised witnesses across Australian jurisdictions and provide the community with vital information about available witnessing services.
Our programs focus on best practices for witnessing common documents, including affidavits, statutory declarations, certified copies, and regularly encountered documents such as Powers of Attorney, Verification of Identity, and Advance Care Directives.
Authorised Witness Australia enhances your skills in document witnessing through optional training. This training is supplementary and does not replace any mandatory pre-appointment training required by your governing body.
* Authorised Witness: An individual empowered to witness signatures or certify copies of documents. This may include a person appointed by law, someone in a specific occupation or profession, or, in some cases, simply an adult.
We are pleased to announce the release, of the first in our series, of JP Checklist applications, that you can download to your device. These applications are a series of checklists for witnesses to use to assist them when witnessing a range of documents.

Terry obviously has an excellent understanding of pedagogy and competency based instruction and, as such, has been able to tailor the training modules and tests accordingly…
An excellent product, very well designed and developed by someone who knows and understands the subject matter along with the ways to construct effective training programs.
I love it. You have put a lot of work into this and I just want you to know it is very much appreciated.
