Regulation of Swords in Victoria
Tai Chi Swords and Tai Chi Sabres are now prohibited weapons in the state of Victoria.
   Sifu David Lamb
Members of Blackburn Tai Chi Academy may legitimately possess and carry swords under the licence exemption created for the Australian National Wushu & Tai Chi Association Inc. Anyone leaving the club must apply for their own permit though the Licensing Services Branch of Victoria Police.
Members are allowed to:
• Possess and carry a sword for practice, training and competitions.
• Buy or bring a sword into Victoria / advertise and sell a sword.
Members must comply with regulations by:
• Carrying a card, supplied by Blackburn Tai Chi Academy, stating your ANTWA membership.
• Properly concealing the sword when transporting.
• Storing the sword safely and securely when not in use, ensuring is not accessible to others (including family members).
• Allowing the police to inspect your storage arrangements at any reasonable time (if requested).
