The sections that follow break the legislative changes into three practical sections to help you quickly
identify what applies to you and what action (if any) is required. Members are encouraged to read each
section carefully and use the check prompts below to guide their review.
As you read through this guide, we suggest you ask yourself the following questions under
each section:
Immediate Actions and Eligibility
Do any of the changes affect my eligibility to hold a licence now, or require me to provide information or
take action immediately (for example, citizenship status or identity verification)?
Firearm Ownership and Reclassification
Do I own firearms that may be affected by new ownership limits or reclassification, or will these
changes affect future acquisitions?
Licence Requirements and Obligations
Do I meet all ongoing licence conditions, including club membership, licence duration, storage
requirements, and estate planning obligations?
Each section explains what has changed, what it means in practice, and what members should do next.
Reviewing this information early will help avoid disruption, delays, or unintended non-compliance as the
reforms take effect.
Important: These changes represent a major shift in firearms regulation in NSW. Members are
encouraged to stay informed, maintain current club membership, and seek advice early to ensure
continued lawful ownership and participation.
