    About the Game Management Authority The Game Management Authority (GMA) is an independent statutory authority responsible for the regulation of game hunting in Victoria. This includes issuing Game Licences, authorities and permits to allow activities such as the hunting, taking destroying, marking, displaying and possessing of game species in Victoria. In Victoria, there are eight species of native duck, one species of native quail, six species of introduced deer and species of introduced quail, pheasants and partridge which are classified as game under the Wildlife Act 1975 and allowed to be hunted. The majority of game hunting is recreational, however, there are two forms of commercial activities that people require a licence or authority for. The first activity allows the breeding and release, for hunting, of introduced game birds, and the second activity allows the hunting of Hog Deer on private property outside of the regulated season for commercial entities.

    Legislation

    Game Licences

    A Game Licence enables the hunting, taking or destroying of game and is issued under Section 22A of the Wildlife Act 1975.

    Commercial Wildlife Game Bird Farmer Licences

    A Game Bird Farmer Licence authorises the

    licence holder to possess, keep, breed, buy,

    sell, destroy and dispose of non-indigenous

    game birds that have been bred in captivity

    for the purpose of hunting and is issued

    under Section 22A of the Wildlife Act 1975.

    Authorisations

    The GMA may give written authorisation to:

    • hunt, take or destroy game

    • buy, sell, acquire, receive, dispose of, keep, possess, control, breed, process, display, take samples from or experiment on game

    • mark game, handle game, for marking it and interfere with the markings on game

    There are specified reasons that the GMA must be satisfied with before issuing any authorisation. Such authorisations are issued under Section 28A of the Wildlife Act 1975. Fee Units

    The value of a fee unit is determined under Section 5 of the Monetary Units Act 2004. The fee unit value for the 2019 financial year was $14.45.

    Game Licence Categories A Game Licence can be issued with the following entitlements and are subject to conditions set out in the Wildlife (Game) Regulations 2012:

    • Deer (Stalking)

    • Deer (Stalking & Hounds)

    • Game birds, not including Duck

    • Game birds, including Duck

    There are a range of licence categories available. To determine what licence category is required to hunt which game species, refer to the fact sheet ‘Which Game Licence do I need?’ (see Appendix I). A Game Licence may be issued for a single game category (e.g. Deer) or it may be issued for multiple categories (e.g. Deer and Game Birds, including Duck).

  • Page | 5

    Game Licence Terms

    Game Licences have a common expiry date of 31 December and are issued for the following terms:

    • Short-term (up to 18 months)

    • Long-term (up to 42 months) As there is a common expiry date, licences issued in the second-half of the year (i.e. post 1 July) expire at the end of the next calendar year. This accounts for the potential 18 and 42-month periods.

    Game Licence Fees

    Game Licence fees are set out in regulation 7 of the Wildlife (Game) Regulations 2012 with licence categories charged as fee units per year or part year. For example, a Game Licence issued for Deer (Stalking) in May will cost the same as a licence issued for the same entitlement in January of the same year.

    Juniors (12-17 years) are not required to pay a fee for a Game Licence, however, they are still required to obtain one prior to hunting and must adhere to the hunting laws.

    Note: The fee unit value for the 2019 financial year was $14.45.

    Deer (Stalking) 4 fee units per year

    Deer (Stalking & Hounds) 4 fee units per year

    Game Birds, including Duck 4 fee units per year

    Game Birds, not including Duck 4 fee units per year

    Deer (Stalking) & Game Birds, including Duck

    6 fee units per year

    Deer (Stalking & Hounds) & Game Birds, including Duck

    6 fee units per year

    Deer (Stalking) & Game Birds, not including Duck

    6 fee units per year

    Hound Registration

    There are currently 4,229 hounds registered in Victoria with the GMA. A hound registered post 2013 is registered for the life of the dog. Previously, hounds were only registered for a maximum of three years.

    Hounds Registered – annual statistics

    The previous Wildlife (Game) Regulations 2001 introduced a requirement for only pure-bred Beagles and Bloodhounds to be used when hunting Sambar Deer. This requirement took effect in 2004.

    Figure 17 shows the number of hounds registered annually has remained relatively constant except for a sharp increase in 2013 after the Wildlife (Game) Regulations 2012 were amended to allow the use of Harriers.
