Provide the building, suburb and reliable recipient information. Island, remote or outlying addresses need explicit transport and access details; a Cairns contact address alone does not establish the service route.

Flat-rate process serving

$290

$290 is PCA's standard price for serving one recipient at one ordinary local service address in Cairns, with a standard volume of documents. The assigned professional's Queensland field-agent licence or applicable subagent registration is checked before dispatch. The scope and any exception are confirmed before dispatch.

Included in the assignment

  • Up to three service attempts
  • Ordinary travel within the confirmed local service area
  • Standard document printing
  • Clear status and attempt updates
  • Preparation or internal review of the affidavit or required proof of service
Additional requirements & exceptions
  • Same-day or exceptional deadlines, confirmed before acceptance
  • Excessive printing, additional defendants, or different service addresses
  • Travel beyond the confirmed local service area
  • Address investigation or skip tracing when required
  • Court filing or registry attendance quoted separately

We confirm all fees and applicable tax before dispatch. Service or court acceptance cannot be guaranteed.

Your file, professionally managed

More than a doorstep attempt.

We review the instructions, coordinate the local professional, keep you informed and prepare or review the required proof. You get one accountable contact from submission to return.

Local requirements & useful context

Provide the building, suburb and reliable recipient information. Island, remote or outlying addresses need explicit transport and access details; a Cairns contact address alone does not establish the service route. The confirmed scope identifies any additional travel before work proceeds.

Queensland's Office of Fair Trading identifies process serving as field-agent work requiring a licence or, in relevant cases, subagent registration. Confirm current eligibility for the person assigned; this is separate from deciding the permitted service method and proof for the particular court document.

These notes provide context, not a determination of the permitted method for your proceeding.

What does the 48-hour offer mean?

A first service attempt within 48 hours in most standard service areas, with no rush fee for that timeframe. It does not guarantee successful service. We confirm the timing for the actual address and requirements before accepting the assignment.

What if the recipient has moved?

Send the previous address and any lawful identifying information. PCA can assess a separately priced skip trace before further attempts.
