SSAA (National) was established in 1948 to represent the interests of Sporting Shooters. SSAA exists today in its capacity as a national body representing law-abiding firearms owners. State organisations (including SSAA NSW Ltd) were established from the 1950s and state processes are managed by a board, president, CEO and full-time staff.
\nSSAA NSW Ltd supports the operations of all branches within the state. Each individual branch and affiliate club is run separately by employees and volunteers and receives support from the state office.<\/p>\n
