FAQ’s
What is a “fit and proper person” and how is it assessed?
The Firearms Registry assesses whether you’re a “fit and proper person” to hold a licence. This includes your criminal history, mental health, domestic relationships, and behaviour. We prepare strategic submissions that address concerns and demonstrate your suitability, especially if you’ve faced prior allegations or disputes.
Can I hold a firearms licence if I’ve had mental health treatment?
Mental health history doesn’t automatically disqualify you. The Registry considers whether your condition affects safety or judgement.
We advise on disclosure, prepare supporting material, and help you present a balanced, respectful case for eligibility.
What happens if police seize my firearms?
Seizure often occurs after an ADVO, criminal allegation, or compliance issue. We act quickly to assess the basis, respond to Registry notices, and protect your rights. If charges are laid, we coordinate defence strategy across all relevant jurisdictions.
How do I reinstate my firearms licence after suspension?
Reinstatement depends on the reason for suspension. We prepare persuasive submissions to the Registry, challenge flawed decisions, and represent clients in NCAT appeals. If your licence was suspended due to an ADVO or criminal matter, we coordinate across all proceedings to maximise your chances.
