Yes.

However, there are strict gun licence laws, and anyone who wants to own or use a firearm must have a Firearms Licence. As it currently stands, only a very small percentage (around 5%) of Australians actually own a gun.

Best to consult the local authorities. Anyone who wants to own/use a firearm must have a Firearms Licence and, with some exceptions, be over the age of 18. Owners must have secure storage for their firearms. Permit To Acquire is required. The first permit has a mandatory 28 day delay before issue. Some states waive for second and subsequent firearms of the same class. For each firearm a "Genuine Reason" must be given, relating to pest control, hunting, target shooting, or collecting. SELF DEFENSE IS NOT AN ACCEPTED REASON. Each firearm iMUST BE registered to the owner by serial number.

Your question is too broad for a Wikianswer. Australia has a number of gun laws. Some firearms are not permitted to be privately owned, others require a license.

Answer to this question is beyond the scope of this site. We recommend that you do an inter-net search. ALL of the gun laws and restrictions will, undoubtedly, encompass many pages.
