Weapons Licensing Queensland

Queensland Police and Weapons Licensing recognise pistol licences from all Australian States.

The Queensland Weapons Act (Section 32) states:

32 Temporary recognition of interstate licences for particular purposes

(1) This section applies if a person who holds a licence, permit or authority issued under the law of another State entitling the person to possession of a weapon visits Queensland—

(a) to participate in a shooting competition conducted by an approved shooting club or approved by the commissioner; or

(b) for another purpose specified under a regulation for this section.

(2) The person’s licence is taken to authorise possession and use of the weapon in accordance with this Act—

(a) for the purpose of participating in the competition; or

(b) for the other purpose specified under the regulation—if the person complies with any conditions specified in the regulation for the purpose.

The Queensland Police Service Weapons Licensing website states:

International visitors wanting to use weapons in Australia require special permits from Australian Police before arrival.A Visitor’s Licence in Queensland will only be issued to a person competing in competitive sports shooting events, hunting tours or other activities in Queensland.

If applying for this type of licence, you must be entitled by law to possess and use a weapon or type of weapon in the state or country where you normally reside.

A Visitor's Licence can only be issued for a maximum of 3 months.

How to Apply

If you want tobring your firearms intoAustralia, you need to apply for two permits:

  • An international visitor weapons/firearms permit/licence (to allow you to possess, carry and use weapons/firearms during your stay); and
  • Animport permit B709to allow you to bring firearms into the country.

To begin the process, apply for the Visitor's Licence to the police of the Australian State you will be competing, recreationally shooting or undertaking other activities in. If you are not competing, recreationally shooting or undertaking other activities in Queensland but you are entering Australia first through a Queensland airport or shipping terminal an Import Permitcan be issued to you on the production of a Visitor's Licence Authority issued by the firearms registry in the State. If you are not entering Queensland first, you need to contactthe interstate firearm registries.

Safety and Storage Requirements for Weapons

The preferred method of storage for visitors to Queensland is in the secure storage facilities of a licensed firearms dealer or armourer or another licensed person.

If this is not possible, or it is unreasonable,section95 of the Weapons Regulation 2016 stipulates the following conditions for storage:

Whilst not in the person's physical possession, weapons must be stored in a securely closed container with the bolt removed or a trigger lock fitted or in a locked container.

The container must be stored:

  • out of sight in a locked room; or
  • locked in the boot of a vehicle; or
  • if the vehicle does not have a boot, locked in the vehicle out of sight.

Weapons must be kept unloaded at all times unless the weapon is being used. For example, the weapon must be unloaded whilst the weapon is being transported toa range and whilst ata range when not involved in actual competition, for example, taking a lunch break.
