Firearms Registry

Firearms Registry Explained – Expert Insights from AUMARK

In New South Wales, the NSW Firearms Registry plays a critical role in overseeing the legal use, ownership, and control of firearms. Whether you're a professional pest controller, landowner, or property manager, understanding the Registry's requirements is essential for staying compliant and operating safely.

At AUMARK, we combine our knowledge of pest control with deep experience navigating firearms laws, helping clients meet all legal obligations while delivering efficient, humane, and effective results in the field.

What Is the Firearms Registry?

The NSW Firearms Registry is the regulatory body under the NSW Police Force responsible for administering the Firearms Act 1996. Its duties include:

• Issuing firearms licences and permits

• Registering individual firearms

• Overseeing firearm category approvals

• Managing dealer, club, and training certifications

• Enforcing compliance through audits and checks

Anyone who owns, uses, or handles a firearm in NSW must be licensed and registered through the Firearms Registry.

Why It Matters for Pest Control

Pest control professionals, particularly those involved in shooting operations, must be fully licensed under the correct firearm categories (A, B, C, D, or H depending on the firearm type). The Firearms Registry ensures that:

• Only qualified individuals operate firearms

• All firearms used are registered and traceable

• Use is justified, such as for vertebrate pest animal control

• Storage, transport, and usage meet safety standards
