Firearm Safety

There are 2 major parts to applying for a Firearms License – a Safety course which we can provide and a genuine reason is required – we suggest joining SSAA. Once you have your Certificate of attainment from the course and proof of SSAA membership plus digital photos then you may apply online for a Firearms Licence.

These are typically taking 5 to 6 months to issue. A case reference ID number will then be generated by WLB once the application is completed and paid for by card. With that Case reference # you may apply for a Permit To Acquire for a firearm and that application will run in conjunction with the licence. Otherwise waiting for the licence then applying will place a 28 day waiting period on any PTA application until WLB can see a firearm on their system against your licence.

We have trainers undertaking training for the Safety Course each Saturday and the cost for the standard A+B safety course is $145 each. They begin at 8:00am and can be finished by 12:30pm sometimes a little later. A certificate will be posted out usually within a fortnight after completion of the course. The course consists mainly of theory with a practical component as well.

A unique student ID number is required for this course. If you don’t already have one just Google same and you can apply for one online. Booking is confirmed with pre - payment. Spaces are limited to 10 each total each Saturday. You may book by phone and pay with a credit card

Should you have a change in circumstances we allow one change of date with at least 24 hours’ notice. A cancellation inside 24 hours will forfeit full payment.
