It is a condition of your Hunting Licence that you complete your Hunting Licence Take Return for the previous season. The return is due by the 30th November to ensure you receive a Reissue Application Form in January for the upcoming open seasons.
Until we receive your Hunting Licence Take Return, there will be a block on your capacity to be reissued with a Hunting Licence.
Even if your take was zero, you must record a zero take against the game species you purchased a licence to hunt, excluding wallaby.
More information about Hunting licences is available via the Hunting Licences page.
