Firearm Safety Courses Gold Coast

Generally speaking, a majority of people interested in firearms are so, for two main reasons, Recreational Hunting, and the Sports of Target Shooting. This will mean that they will be looking at firearms within the A, B, and H categories.

Most people will apply for the three categories which will come as two licences, a Firearms Licence which has the A, and B categories, and a Concealable licence, which is for category H firearms.

Category A Firearms

Category B Firearms

Category H Firearms

To apply for a weapons licence in Queensland you must do the following:

1. Meet the personal eligibility requirements.
2. Have a genuine reason to hold a licence.
3. Have access to secure weapon storage.
4. Complete an approved weapons safety course covering the category of weapon you’re applying for and provide your statement of attainment. The course must have been completed within the 12 months before the date of submitting your application.
5. Provide the supporting documentation requested during the application process.
6. The name, date of birth and address that you provide with your application must match the documents you provide to prove your identity. For example, if there are any spelling mistakes in your name or if you have a middle name that you don’t provide with your application but is on your proof of identity documents, you may not be able to complete your proof of identity.
7. Pay the required fees.
8. Once you have submitted, you will receive an email requesting you attend a participating Australia Post outlet to provide your proof of identity.  You will also have your passport quality photograph taken (free of charge) at your local participating Australia Post outlet.

Please note that this process will be covered in the course content in more detail.

Knowing how daunting the application process can be we strive to provide as much information as possible to help you get your licence. If at any time you are unsure of what steps to take or need assistance with applying for your licence or Permits to Acquire (PTA’s), we are more than happy to help.

For those that are interested in additional categories, we also hold Firearms Safety Courses for categories C, and D. These additional categories are more specific to occupational shooters and as such will incur an additional cost as they are not included in the core course. Category C and D firearms include: but are not limited to, Semi-Auto Rimfire and Centrefire Rifles, Pump Action Shotguns, and Semi-Auto Shotguns. Magazine Capacities are also a significant consideration with Category D firearms.

We also have the option for one-on-one training for learning all aspects of firearms handling and usage. The training can cover any areas that you would like to learn and will be tailored to your current knowledge and skills as well as your learning pace. We are very flexible with this option and aim to provide as much information to allow you to gain the confidence you need to safely use understand and use firearms.

Our general Firearms Safety Course covers Categories A, B, and H and is held in our own Air Conditioned classroom. Additional categories are available upon inquiry.
