Firearms Licence Renewals: Processing Delays
Biathlon Australia has been advised that firearms licence renewals may take some time to process in both New South Wales and Victoria. In NSW, members have reported that renewals may take up to four months.
Members who have submitted a renewal application and are awaiting their new licence are encouraged to retain any correspondence or documentation from the relevant firearms registry confirming their licence status.
If you are awaiting a renewal, please contact Biathlon Australia if you have concerns about your licence expiry date or have received automated reminders from BA. This will help us keep our records up to date.
Members remain responsible for ensuring they comply with all applicable firearms licensing requirements, including those relating to possession, transport and overseas travel with firearms.
