“From July 2025 Queensland members will no longer receive Australian Shooter magazine (the journal of the SSAA). Instead, they will receive a copy of “The Report”, a SSAA Queensland publication. This is a decision of the SSAA QLD executive. SSAA Inc (national office) requires SSAA Queensland to send through names and addresses of its members to the mailing house to facilitate the mailing of the magazine and they will no longer be doing so.

SSAA Inc is extremely disappointed by this decision and is working to develop ways for Queensland members to continue to receive Australian Shooter magazine.

Queensland members who wish to continue to receive Australian Shooter should contact the national membership office on (02) 8805 3900.

Over the weekend of the 5th and 6th of July, the SSAA National Board noted that SSAA QLD were now 6 months behind in their payment of membership subscriptions to SSAA Inc. This puts them well outside constitutional timeframes to remain a member of the national association. SSAA QLD will be given a short period of time to bring its payments up to date or it will cease to be a member of the national association. The board cannot allow this situation to continue.

in the event that SSAA QLD do not make good on their obligations, the SSAA Inc board decided on a path to allow Queensland members to remain members of the Australian SSAA family and to retain all of the benefits of SSAA membership should they choose to do so. Details of this arrangement will be released when it is appropriate to do so. In the meantime, Queensland members should contact the SSAA national membership office on (02) 8805 3900 to indicate their interest in this option.
