Firearms reforms are actively underway across Australia. While these reforms are not directed at deer hunting specifically, they have direct implications for licensed deer hunters and how hunting is regulated, accessed, and managed into the future.
During periods of policy change, experienced representation matters.
The Australian Deer Association’s 2026 membership campaign has now concluded, with strong engagement from deer hunters across Australia.
We’re pleased to announce that Peter McLeod (Victoria) was selected by random draw as the campaign winner.

This campaign reinforced the importance of a strong, united membership base during a period of ongoing policy change.
Hundreds of hunters chose to join or return to the ADA, strengthening representation for deer hunting at a national level.
While the campaign has concluded, membership remains open to all hunters who want to support responsible hunting and informed representation.
Membership is open year-round for hunters who want to support experienced representation, education and responsible deer hunting.
