To be eligible for appointment as a Justice of the Peace in NSW, you must:
be at least 18 years of age
be nominated by a member of the Legislative Assembly or the Legislative Council (MP or MLC)
be an Australian citizen or a person who is entitled to vote at a general election, unless the Attorney General exempts you from having to satisfy this criterion
be of good character
consent in writing to confidential inquiries being made as your suitability for appointment, including a criminal records check
not be an undischarged bankrupt
establish that your appointment as a justice of the peace is required for your employment or to fulfil a community-based need for the appointment
I assume QLD is similar.
