The Firearms Registry also made direct contact with peak
associations and the rearms dealer network to ask for a unied
approach to assist with licence holders, clubs and range facilities
that had been affected by the bushre disaster.
The NSW Firearms Dealers Association kindly offered their
services as a reference for people who have been affected by
bushres and are seeking alternate safe storage arrangements at
minimal cost. People may contact: secretary@nswfda.com.au to
identify their closest participating dealer.
The Firearms Registry also wrote to clubs and ranges seeking
information on any damage incurred and pledged our assistance
to support those facilities back to full or partial safe operation.
We are grateful also of the support being provided by peak
associations in coordinating equipment and offering assistance to
re-affected ranges and clubs.
Our focus is to work with the community and our network of clubs,
ranges, dealers and associations collaboratively to ensure that
legal responsibilities are met for both individuals and associations.
As horric as the 2019 – 2020 bushre season has been, it has
been heartening to see the community outpouring of assistance
and support in all its forms.
If you need to notify the Firearms Registry about your rearm
safe storage, you must do so within 14 days and have the
following options:
- via the online form (Change of Personal Details Request Form) or
- email (rearmsenq@police.nsw.gov.au), or
- post (Locked Bag 5102, Parramatta NSW 2124)
Aected customers can also
contact the Firearms Registry
Customer Service Line on
1300 362 562
(9:00am - 4:00pm Monday to Friday) or local Police for advice.
Our focus is to work with the
community and our network of clubs,
ranges, dealers and associations
collaboratively to ensure that legal
responsibilities are met for both
individuals and associations.
