People who can witness stat decs are listed here
On 1 January 2006 the Parliament of Western Australia proclaimed the Oaths, Affidavits and Statutory Declarations Act 2005 which makes changes to the manner in which oaths, affidavits and statutory declarations are administered and witnessed.
Under the new legislation more than 40 occupational groups are able to witness statutory declarations, including teachers, engineers, doctors and public servants. This change means the role of commissioner for declarations will no longer exist.
The Attorney General Jim McGinty MLA would like to thank all commissioners for declarations for the long-standing service they have provided to the Western Australian community.
Professions that can now witness statutory declarations include:
* Academics - University faculties
* Architects
* Australian Consular Officers
* Australian Diplomatic Officers
* Auditors and liquidators
* Bank Managers
* Chartered Secretaries
* Chemists
