National Firearms Buyback Scheme and associated law reform
On 19 December 2025, the Prime Minister announced a National Firearms Buyback Scheme to remove newly banned and illegal firearms.
Over the past few weeks, we have also seen other statements in the media regarding firearms law reform - such as reducing firearms possession and requiring Australian citizenship to hold a firearms licence.
At this stage, details on how the scheme will operate, or changes that may affect firearms ownership in Tasmania, are not yet available.
As information becomes available this webpage will be updated.
