  • Welcome to the First Edition of RBDM's Family History Journal, a New
    Issue 16 Dear Colleagues It is with a sense of accomplishment that I announce we have reached the end of a long process to produce the new JP and Cdec handbooks. Since delivery, we have been busily preparing and dispatching copies of the handbook to meet your orders, and it is gratifying to see how popular they are. I want to thank you all for your patience while we worked through the process, as well as for the wonderful feedback many of you have provided. The concept of having loose leaf pages will prove worthwhile in time when updates to the handbooks are required. The new handbooks will be a valuable tool for years to come in your important community role. Also, we will continue to provide timely updates through Technical Bulletins on any relevant change. Recently, I received a copy of a JP Handbook from 1927 which outlined the powers and duties at the time for JPs in Queensland. It makes for interesting reading and highlighted how much things have changed. This handbook will be added to other memorabilia to be displayed at JP Branch. If you have anything that you think may also be historical to the role and would like to donate, please contact us to discuss. Also, this edition of the JP Bulletin contains information about advance health directives for mental health and witnessing Title Registry forms for “off the plan” purchase. With the release of both new handbooks and the continuing expansion of the volunteer JPs in the Community Program, this is truly an exciting time to be a JP or Cdec in Queensland.

  • The Queensland Plan Annual Progress Report 2019-20
    The Queensland Plan Annual Progress Report 2019–20 About the report This report outlines the implementation of The Queensland Plan (the Plan) over the 2019–20 financial year. It highlights a range of activities by Queensland Governments (state and local), industry, community groups and not-for-profit organisations. These activities align with the 30-year vision developed by the citizens of Queensland. The report is developed in accordance with the Queensland Plan Act 2014 and is available online at www.qld.gov.au/queenslandplan. How to read the report The report provides an overview of programs and activities across Queensland that are aligned to each of the Plan’s nine foundation areas. The Plan recognised that the foundation areas are intrinsically interconnected. Where initiatives relate to a number of foundation areas, they have only been included once. The report also provides examples of partnerships across sectors and local community collaboration that align with the vision of the Plan. Finally, the report takes a look at the year ahead and outlines a number of initiatives that will be delivered in 2020–21. For more information about Queensland Government activities in 2019–20 visit: www.qld.gov.au/about/staying-informed/reports-publications/annual-reports.

Warm regards, Damien Mealey and staff Registrar and Manager Justices of the Peace Branch Department of Justice and Attorney-General - 1 - JPBulletin December 2014 Five minutes with…Kevin Martin In line with recommendations resulting from the Queensland Child Protection Commission of Inquiry1, in July 2014 the functions of the Adult Guardian were combined with those of the Commission for Children, Young People and Child Guardian.
