Have your say: Member Survey, Petition and Media Campaign

Dear Members,

SSAA ACT Inc. is currently undertaking a coordinated approach to ensure the voices of responsible firearms owners are heard clearly in current and future policy discussions.

As part of this effort, we are asking all members to participate in three important initiatives…..

Member Update – 8 February 2026

Dear Members,

The Executive Committee of Council and other volunteers have been working throughout the holidays to develop and coordinate a coherent response to the proposed changes resulting from the Bondi Terrorist attack in December. We have also been working to engage with key decision-makers and stakeholders, to keep our members informed of the situation and to provide meaningful guidance.

Member Update – 5 January 2026

Dear Members

This is a stressful time for everyone, and we understand (and share) your anxiety and frustration.

SSAA National and SSAA NSW worked quickly and tirelessly to engage with the NSW Government on the Terrorism and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025 that passed through the NSW Parliament earlier this week, here: Terrorism and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025. The NSW Government was not prepared to consult with key stakeholders on the legislation, acting quickly to push the Bill through parliament.

Across the border, the ACT Government has announced it will take a more measured and consultative approach, while at the same time seeking to align (where practicable and appropriate) the ACT Firearms Act 1996 with the impending amendments to its NSW equivalent.

Member Update – 20 December 2025

Dear SSAA ACT Inc. member,

Most of you will have heard by now about recent proposed changes to firearms legislation in NSW and the potential flow-on implications for the ACT. This is a rapidly evolving situation and our SSAA ACT Inc volunteers are working hard to keep on top of developments as they occur, to support our members and to coordinate with SSAA National, with other SSAA State and Territory organisations, and with other relevant associations.

We understand and appreciate how these developments are concerning to our licensed firearms owners, competition shooters and hunters alike.
