Cancelled or Refused Firearms Licenses
If the Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police cancels your firearms licence, or refuses your application for a firearms licence, you may have a right to have this decision reviewed by the Firearms Appeals Committee.
If the courts have determined you to be a ‘prohibited person’, as defined under Section 3 of the Firearms Act 1996, there are no grounds for appeal. (Refer to Who Cannot Hold a Firearms Licence).
Suspended Licenses
If the Chief Commissioner suspends your firearms licence, you are encouraged to make submissions directly with Victoria Police as to your suitability to hold a licence. If your licence is subsequently cancelled, you may then lodge an appeal with the Firearms Appeals Committee.
