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 information from existing Commonwealth, state and territory firearms registries, portals and management platforms into one centralised database.

The NFR will enhance police and community safety and improve law enforcement capability
