FAQ #4: What happens and what does it mean if my firearms licence is Revoked?

If your licence is revoked due to concerns for your mental health you will not be able to use or even be around firearms for a minimum of 5 years.

This is where it is really important during the suspension process to have a chat with the firearms safety authority. They will give you indication as to where it is heading and the option of self surrender. (refer to FAQ surrender process)You can surrender your licence at any time no questions asked. During this time you still have the ability to be around and use a firearm under direct supervision. This option is by far a better option than revocation, remembering you can reapply again at any time. This allows you the time to sort your mental health with no pressure or fear of revocation.
