Public consultation on the Arms Act rewrite

Closes 28 Feb 2025

Contents

This online survey divides the Arms Act into seven key themes, using the same structure as the discussion document. Each theme explains relevant laws and controls and offers questions to guide your responses. The Other matters section allows you to offer feedback on topics not addressed in the seven themes. We encourage you to read the discussion document or the summary version before beginning your submission. 

  • You are not required to complete all themes or questions.
  • You can save your progress and return later by clicking “Save and come back later.”
  • You will be returned to this page after completing your responses for a particular theme.
