The Firearms Act 1973 section 15(4) describes a Student of Arms as "a person who can be shown to have a prolonged and genuine interest in the study, preservation, or collection of firearms".
Our understanding is the requirements to become a Student of Arms under the new Firearms Act (WA) 2024, and corresponding Firearms Regulations 2024 includes: to be a member of an approved society for minimum of six months; you also need to add to the body of knowledge that directly relates to your interest and arms you are collecting. Note this is not comprehensive and further details on this answer will be added as they come to light.
You might not have collectible firearms yet however if you have firearms in the family that you would like to preserve/retain and will require a Collectors licence in the future, you will need to have belonged to a Society for six months or more prior to obtain the collectors licence. This allows you to have more than ten firearms across multiple types of licences.
