Range Officer Course

Range Officers are a vital part of all SSAA Victoria ranges. With the primary function of ensuring safety and compliance with the range rules, it is a role that must be maintained to ensure the highest level of safety is met. It is a SSAA Victoria policy that all ranges have a qualified Range Officer in attendance at all times when in operation.

All ranges across Victoria welcome SSAA members to assist them in servicing the ranges to ensure that all members have an enjoyable time. SSAA Victoria encourages its members to become Range Officers to help fellow shooters and ensure all of our ranges continue to provide the high standard of service expected by regulatory bodies.

SSAA Victoria conducts Range Officer training courses across the State. In 2015, the Range Officer training course underwent a major review to ensure our new Range Officers fully understood the requirements of their role. As a result, a new course was developed and a new Range Officer Policy was adopted by the SSAA Victoria Board.

In 2023, the theoretical component of the course has been moved online with the practical component conducted on the range.
