â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being a PACT Volunteer is extremely rewarding. As a JP, we are already entrusted to help the community and fulfill important legal responsibilities. PACT work is a great addition to my JP role. I enjoy being able to provide information and support to help vulnerable children and their families through the difficult criminal court process.

I would encourage other JPs to consider Volunteering with PACT too, wherever they live around Queensland.â&#x20AC;?
