It isn't as bad as it looks.

You really need to state which state you are entering in, which state you will be hunting with an outfitter and where you private hunting will be done.

Most states and territories are very similar in requirements and have reciprocal rights ie so a licence issued in one state is recognised in others eg if issued for the same purpose eg hunting.

The exceptions from my reading are NSW (Sydney) and Western Australia (Perth). WA has always had the worst laws in Australia. NSW seems to restrict foreign hunters to hunting only with licenced outfitters or shooting through recognised sporting shooting clubs.

This is no worse than the USA and indeed I believe firearms are easier for a foreign shooter to get into Australia than eg for a foreign shooter to get firearms into the USA currently.

Most US outfitters seem to advise not to try and just borrow one now!

Food for thought!

The NSW licence would still allow you possess your firearms just maybe not hunt privately with them. Licences from NT, SA, QLD and Vic (maybe also Tas) seem to allow you to hunt or shoot in the states and also these licences are recognised by the other states too.

It really is not a major problem.

Your outfitter should know anyway and can advise.
