Queensland firearms licensing guide
Navigating the weapons licensing process in Queensland is straightforward when you know the steps. From completing your accredited firearms safety course to lodging your application with Queensland Police, explore our visual guide below.
Step 1: complete your firearms safety course
The mandatory first step toward holding a weapons licence in Queensland is successfully completing an approved firearms safety course. At Target Safety Training in Kingaroy, we provide hands-on, practical instruction covering legislation, safe handling, and storage requirements so you can obtain the necessary statement of attainment.
Step 2: establish your genuine reason
Queensland Weapons Licensing requires applicants to demonstrate a valid genuine reason for owning or using firearms. Our safety training supports common genuine reasons including recreational shooting, rural hunting, and primary production, helping you prepare the documentation required for your specific needs.
Step 3: apply with the Queensland Police Service
Once you hold your course certificate and supporting documentation, you can lodge your formal application online through the Queensland Police Service weapons licensing portal. Following background checks and storage compliance verification, your weapons licence will be issued.
