About AWA

Every document witnessed, correctly and accurately.

Authorised Witness Australia Inc. is a not-for-profit association working to ensure the public receives accurate and reliable witnessing of the documents that matter throughout life, from birth to end of life.

What we do

We support the professional development of authorised witnesses across every Australian jurisdiction, and give the community clear information about the witnessing services available to them. Our programs cover best practice for the documents witnessed most often, including affidavits, statutory declarations, certified copies, Powers of Attorney, Verification of Identity, and Advance Care Directives.

AWA training is optional and supplementary. It does not replace any mandatory pre-appointment training required by your governing body.
