Frequently Asked Questions
The Firearms Act 1996 is the key legislation governing firearm ownership and regulation in NSW. It was enacted to establish strict licensing and possession laws in response to public safety concerns. The Act sets out the legal requirements for obtaining and holding a firearms licence, with applications and disputes reviewed by a Tribunal.
While the Firearms Act 1996 specifically governs the regulation of firearms, other restricted weapons and articles fall under the Weapons Prohibition Act 1998. This separate legislation controls the possession and use of prohibited weapons beyond standard firearms.
