Comment on this
In line with the provisions of section 88 of the Courts of Justice Act 1924, Peace Commissioners are appointed, and may be removed from that appointment, by the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration.
While my Department maintains the Roll of Peace Commissioners and every effort is made to keep it accurate, the data may include Peace Commissioners who are no longer active. My Department relies on Peace Commissioners themselves, or others (such as family members) who are familiar with them, to let us know of any significant changes in their circumstances. A review of the Roll is currently ongoing, with the objective of having a list that is up-to-date and reliable and good progress has been made to date in this regard.
There are currently just over 4,000 individuals whose names appear on the Roll of Peace Commissioners. My officials are currently compiling a list of the individuals who were appointed as Peace Commissioners in the period from 20 June 2024 to date. Those details will be forwarded directly to the Deputy shortly.
