[VIC] Options for safety courses for the purpose of obtaining a Cat A/B license?

Stuck in a lockdown zone but not Metro, just wondering where (if anywhere) is taking bookings for definite dates or even just putting people on a wait-list.

Contacting the Police for one sounds like a good way to get put on a 6 month wait list and SSAA isn't doing any for the time being.

So I'm just wondering what other options exist if anyone here has some experience.

Otherwise wait til SSAA run theirs once this shits over.

I would just wait until we’re out of lockdown unless you’re free to move in and out of lockdown areas (into rural vic to do the course for example)

Some of the gun shops are running safety courses, if I recall correctly.

Thank you, I can have a look around. Any good ones in central Vic that you know of?

There's a great one in Sunbury, which isn't exactly central but not Metro. Rehfisch and Co Ballarat on Lydiard St is quality, Bendigo had a good one a few years ago but I cant recall the name. Trelly's in Shepparton also caters for a solid shooting crowd with the bigger range up there.

Sunbury do online as well I’m pretty sure

Looked up Sunbury and they're doing a chill online test. I'll have to get some in-person training some time but this should let me keep the license ball rollin', thanks heaps.

I did mine at the start of the year (regional Vic)

Contacted the police and only had to wait about 3 weeks - didn't even have to drive to the next town over, it was right around the corner! So definitely give that a try, you might get lucky like me
