You must have two witnesses who are present at the same time to witness your Enduring Power of Attorney. Legislation states that ONE of the witnesses of your Enduring Power of Attorney must address the criteria of people authorised to witness a statutory declaration e.g. Pharmacist, Doctor, Engineer, Public Servant, Teacher, etc. The other witness can be any other person over 18.
