If you have small arms ammunition which you cannot legally possess, you can surrender it voluntarily without fear of prosecution.
You can either:
- Surrender sporting ammunition (e.g. calibres up to 19mm in brass and steel cases, brass and plastic shotgun shells) to a nominated firearms dealer
or - Contact the Explosives Inspectorate on 1300 739 868 (24 hour emergency response hotline) if you have difficulty getting to a surrender centre.
Do not:
- Keep small arms ammunition of any kind unnecessarily; or
- Dispose of small arms ammunition inappropriately.
