Core components of Australian gun law
The national framework includes a licensing and registration system, firearm restrictions, and a genuine reason requirement for ownership. 
  • Licensing and permits:
    • To own a firearm, a person must first obtain a license and a separate permit for each weapon purchase.
    • Applicants must be 18 or older, pass background checks for criminal and mental health history, and complete safety training.
    • A minimum 28-day waiting period is mandatory for first-time buyers.
  • Genuine reason:
    • A "genuine reason" for owning a firearm must be demonstrated, and it cannot be for self-defense.
    • Acceptable reasons include primary production (farming), sport/target shooting, pest control, and collecting.
    • License holders must provide evidence of their genuine reason, such as club membership for target shooters or property access for hunting.
  • Firearm restrictions:
    • The NFA banned most semi-automatic rifles and shotguns from civilian ownership.
    • Firearms are categorized, with strict regulations on different classes of weapons.
    • Category D weapons, which include semi-automatic centrefire rifles and high-capacity shotguns, are generally restricted to government agencies and specific occupational users.
    • Category R covers military-grade weapons like machine guns and rocket launchers, which are heavily restricted.
  • Buyback schemes and amnesties:
    • Following the 1996 Port Arthur massacre, the federal government funded a mandatory buyback scheme that removed more than 640,000 newly prohibited firearms from civilian hands.
    • In 2003, a handgun buyback program was implemented after the Monash University shootings.
    • Australia has held multiple gun amnesties since 1996, allowing people to surrender unregistered or unwanted firearms without penalty.
