ACT Rifle Licence (A/B Class) Checklist

Attend an MFC introductory rifle shoot - booking is essential by emailing mfc.act.dc@gmail.com.

Join SSAA, if not already a member. You must remain a member of the SSAA to be in MFC.

Email mfc.act.dc@gmail.com to request a membership form, and price for membership. Please include the following in your email:

• Specify when you did your introductory shoot

• Specify SSAA membership status

• Advise if you already have a range pass for the SSAA Majura Range complex

Fill out and return MFC membership form

Pay MFC membership (and range pass if not already held).

Complete the long arms safety course with SSAA ACT, details are at Safety Course.

Fill out your licence application and get it endorsed. Note that Range Officers at General Members sessions can endorse a licence application as long as you have your SSAA membership details with you - General Members are usually 9-4 weekdays and 9-12 Sundays. Otherwise, arrange with the MFC Discipline Coordinator to get the application endorsed at an MFC programmed shoot.

Read the Guidance from the Registry to avoid making a rookie error with your application. 

Take your A/B safety course certificate, club endorsed licence application and receipt of firearms payment (payment should be made for “adult licence application”) from Access Canberra to the ACT Firearms Registry for submission.
