Euthanasia by Firearm

Wildcare’s euthanasia-by-firearm course is primarily for qualifying members to legally, safely and humanely relieve the suffering of severely injured or fatally sick macropods and wombats. The course also includes a refresher module to update and re-qualify members nearing the end of their two-year authority-to-operate for native-wildlife euthanasia.

Course fees

A firearms licence is not required to attend or qualify on the course. With the qualification, and Wildcare’s written recommendation, participants can apply to the NSW Firearms Registry for “Animal Welfare – Animal Handler” to be endorsed as a genuine reason for holding their NSW Firearms Licence (only if actively participating in a licenced euthanasia-by-firearm program).
