Being a legal firearms user

In Unit 2 of Section 1 - Hunting laws in NSW, we discussed laws relating to the possession and use of firearms. To hunt with firearms in NSW, you must hold an appropriate firearms licence, issued by your state agency, that is endorsed for the relevant firearm categories and genuine reason.

To hunt on public land in NSW with firearms, you must successfully complete Section 1 of this course, as well as this licence category. When your application for a NSW game hunting licence is approved and processed, you will then be able to book a hunt and use firearms to hunt on public land in NSW.
