What FGA Does For You 

If you are a member of FGA we work to make available a wide range of benefits that include great environmental and sporting activities, excellent insurance coverage and representation that strives to protect and expand opportunities for you to enjoy your shooting.

Full Member Benefits

FGA does not discount benefits to members on the basis of your membership fee or category. You are a member and you enjoy Full Member Benefits.

Adult, Pensioner, Junior and Student Membership

Additional Family Membership

Adult members may nominate any number of additional family members at a greatly discounted membership rate. Full member benefits may be enjoyed by every person in your household.

Additional family members are your spouse and child or children under 18 who reside at the same address. Admittedly we don’t send multiple copies of magazines and newsletters to your home address but additional copies can be arranged if you need them.

Membership

You are joining Australia’s leading Hunting and Conservation Organisation - with 50 years of service to Hunters, Target Shooters and Conservation Projects. This is an innovative and friendly organisation. We are sure you will enjoy being a member.

Branch Membership

As members of the FGA National Organisation you are automatically part of one FGA Branch.  You have direct and welcome access to more than 60 other FGA Branches.

Family Membership

Members of your immediate family may enjoy membership of FGA at a greatly reduced rate.

Genuine Reason

FGA Membership and participation in the activities of an FGA Branch satisfies the “genuine reason” requirements of your firearms license in all states. It is important to maintain your membership from year to year. Genuine reason audits are becoming more frequent.

Representation & Advocacy

FGA Board Members, Staff, and Skilled Branch Members invest thousands of hours on your behalf, liaising with Governments, Media and Key Decision-Making Agencies. FGA has high political credibility.

FGA Representatives are seen as effective advocates and responsible negotiators, not single-issue ‘table thumpers’.

Game Management

Field and Game Australia represents you on Game Management Advisory Committees especially in Victoria, NSW and Tasmania. Through these processes, ongoing survival of species and increased opportunities for hunters will be achieved.

Participation and Access

As an FGA Member you have access to a range of information and assistance to build your advocacy skills and build your participation or field work skills.

$20 Million Insurance

$20 million public liability cover is extended to all your accredited shooting activities - target shooting and hunting.

Firearm Insurance

Firearms are notoriously hard to insure. FGA members enjoy free insurance on one firearm and pay just $10 per gun per year for other firearms they own. Cover is limited with a maximum repair or replacement benefit of $600 per claim (conditions apply).

Good Advice

Free advice on anything is getting hard to come by.  As an FGA Member advice on important issues relating to licensing issues and hunting activities is just a phone call or email message away.

Around The Traps

All members of FGA hold a Simulated Field Handicap Card.  You may enjoy competitive and social clay target shooting at over 45 simulated field shooting grounds across the country.

These are safe, controlled facilities for practicing skills and teaching those skills to younger members of your family.

Mud on your Hands

FGA is Australia’s leading wetland conservation group undertaking work in some of our most endangered habitats.

News and Information

You will receive our quarterly magazine and newsletter.

You will also receive a free 12 month shoot calendar letting you know what’s happening anywhere in the FGA network.

We can also keep you up to date on shooting and conservation issues via regular email newsletters.

Joining the Hunt

As a member of an accredited and ethical hunting organisation opportunities to participate in a range of hunting activities are available to you.

Our Members are constantly undertaking fox drives and other vermin control activities throughout the country.

When duck and quail seasons are you are able to participate in our organised duck hunt. You will meet new hunting companions and visit many new hunting areas.
