Approved hunting organisations
An Approved Hunting Organisation (AHO) is a hunting club or organisation that has received the ‘approved’ status from the NSW DPI for the purpose of qualifying their members for an R-Licence.
To seek DPI approval, AHOs must have a constitution that:
- complies with relevant NSW legislation
- contains a hunting code of conduct or practice, such as the Hunters’ Code of Practice, that is legislated in the Game and Feral Animal Control Regulation 2012
- contains disciplinary provisions that allow the AHO to take action against any member found to have breached the Hunters’ Code of Practice or relevant legislation in NSW.
You must be a current member of an AHO to apply for and maintain your NSW R-Licence.
