SSAA NSW

I have completed my attendances at another approved club, do I need to notify the SSAA of this? Yes, if a member completes an attendance at a non-SSAA range, they must forward a copy of the attendance receipt or a letter from the club stating they have attended to the SSAA NSW Offi ce. This attendance can then be included in their attendance count. I am a member of another club approved for target shooting, hunting and/or collecting and it reports on my attendances, what do I do? Please notify us in writing that another approved club reports on your longarms attendances, noting which of your genuine reasons (target shooting, hunting or collecting) it reports on. We will adjust your membership record and cease to report on those genuine reasons indicated in your correspondence. I will be unable to meet the attendance requirements before the 31 March 2016 because of Illness, overseas or interstate travel or work commitments or other exceptional circumstances? If you are unable to attend for a signifi cant portion of the 12 months ending 31 March 2016 for one or more of the above reasons, you should obtain documents that will support your circumstance. Do not send the documentation to SSAA NSW but retain it as the NSW Firearms Registry may request a written explanation of your non-attendance. I am licenced for recreational hunting/vermin control, I am a member of SSAA and I have a letter of permission, do I need to complete the 2 club attendances? If you have a letter of permission which has been submitted to the Firearms Registry as proof of genuine reason for your Firearms Licence you are not required to complete the attendances. This also applies if you have your own property or a R Licence which has been registered as support. Please note: if you are also licenced for target and/or collecting you will still be required to fulfi l the attendances for these categories. How do I change the genuine reasons and/or the support registered on my licence? You need to contact the NSW Firearms Registry on 1300 362 562 to discuss making changes to your Firearms Licence. You must also notify the SSAA National Membership Offi ce of these changes in writing by email to mem@ssaa.org.au or by post to PO Box 282 PLUMPTON 2761. Do I have to complete attendances under a Minors Permit? No, Minors Permit holders are not required to complete attendances. Only adults (18 years and over) who possess a Firearms Licences are required to complete the appropriate attendances.
