National Domestic Violence Order Scheme Act 2016

If a non-local DVO that is a recognised DVO disqualifies a person from holding a non-local weapons licence or type of non-local weapons licence, the person is also disqualified from holding a local weapons licence or local weapons licence of the same type (as the case requires).

On becoming aware that a person is disqualified from holding a weapons approval by a non-local DVO that is a recognised DVO, the Chief Commissioner of Police must revoke any weapons approval held by the person.

The Chief Commissioner of Police must refuse to grant a weapons approval to a person who is disqualified from holding a weapons approval by a non-local DVO that is a recognised DVO.

A weapons exemption under section 8B of the Control of Weapons Act 1990—

must not be granted in respect of a person who is disqualified from holding the weapons exemption by a non-local DVO that is a recognised DVO; and

if granted in respect of a class of person or persons identified by a particular description, does not apply to a person—

who is so disqualified from holding the weapons exemption by a non-local DVO that is a recognised DVO; and

who is a member of that class or who satisfies that description (as the case requires).

A recognised DVO disqualifies a person from holding a non-local weapons licence or type of non-local weapons licence if the DVO expressly—

disqualifies the person from holding a non‑local weapons licence or type of non‑local weapons licence; or

revokes or requires the person to surrender a non-local weapons licence or type of non‑local weapons licence held by the person.

This section does not apply to a recognised DVO that is a final order.

In this section—

a weapons approval under section 8C of the Control of Weapons Act 1990;

a weapons exemption under section 8B of the Control of Weapons Act 1990;
