Organisational Change Manager

Australia's firearm regulations are widely regarded as a global benchmark, yet systematic gaps remain, and addressing them is key to preventing future firearm-related tragedies. On 1 July 2024, the National Firearms Register (NFR) Implementation Program commenced. The NFR will function as a unified system consolidating information from existing Commonwealth, state, and territory firearms registries, portals, and management platforms into one centralised database. This will provide national oversight by offering a clear end-to-end view of firearms, ownership, and licensing information across all states and territories. The NFR aims to enhance police and community safety and improve law enforcement capabilities.
