Need help with pest animals?
We provide a free service
Farmers and landholders do not need to pay to register for the program and there is no fee for our members' pest control services.
You have total control
Farmers and landholders have total control over who comes onto their property and what conditions our members must follow.
Accredited shooters only
SSAA members registered for this program have undertaken a shooting skill test that is equivalent to tests undertaken by professional shooters.
Covered by insurance
All SSAA members participating in this program are covered by the association's $20 million public liability and personal accident cover.
Testimonials
I have found the Farmer Assist program to be extremely helpful in controlling feral animals on our drought stricken property. I would recommend the program to other farmers.
