WA Juniors Firearms Regulations

Attention WA Juniors

Clause 47, (NSW) Firearms Regulation 2006 allows for the interstate recognition of minors permits, however the clause only relates to those minors who are the holder of the equivalent of a minors' firearm permit issued under the law in force in their state or territory. As Western Australia do not issue minors permit, this clause is irrelevant. Therefore, any minor who wishes to participate in any competition in NSW must complete the application form and provide the following additional information to support their application:

 

* Proof of identity - Certified copy of a birth certificate, passport or certificate of citizenship, or Official student card. (one doc only reqd)
* Provide a history of firearms use eg: letter from club detailing experience of firearm at club, previous shooting comps etc.
* Provide details of the firearm/s that will be used by the minor whilst in NSW
* Provide details of where the firearm/s will be stored whilst in NSW, (club armoury)

NSW Firearms Minors Permit Application

There will be a one off cost of $75 to be sent with the permit application. The permit is then valid till the minor turns 18. There is no need to complete the NSW Firearms Safety Training Course if a history of firearms use can be provided.
