To be eligible for a NSW G-licence, you must:

To make sure that you have all the information you need to complete this transaction, please visit the Department of Primary Industries.

• To hunt on private land you must have the permission of the private landowner in addition to a NSW G-licence. 
• Having a NSW G-licence does not allow you to hunt on declared public hunting land.
• If you're only hunting feral animals on private land, you don't need a NSW G-licence, you just need the permission of the landowner.
• A condition of holding a game hunting licence is compliance with the regulations.
• Licences can be from 1 to 5 years duration.
• Concessions rates apply for minors (12 to 17 years) and eligible pensioners.
