Pest Control Shooting Licence

20/05/2025

Controlling pest animals such as feral cats, pigs, and foxes is vital for protecting Australia's agriculture, native wildlife, and property. One of the most effective and humane methods in certain environments is ground or aerial shooting—but to carry out this work legally in New South Wales, a Pest Control Shooting Licence is required.

At AUMARK, we're licensed professionals with years of field experience delivering efficient and compliant pest control across NSW. Whether you're a landholder looking to understand the legal requirements, or you need professional support, we're here to help.

What is a Pest Control Shooting Licence?

In NSW, a pest control shooting licence—often referred to as a Firearms Licence for vertebrate pest control—allows individuals or contractors to lawfully use firearms for the purpose of controlling pest animals. It is regulated by the NSW Firearms Registry and must be backed by legitimate need, such as:

  • Managing pest populations on private property

  • Performing contract pest control services

  • Working under government or council-authorised programs
