Delta Force Paintball is pleased to announce new legislation passed today by the NSW State Government including the reduction of the paintball minimum age. NSW Paintball industry reform has been approved by parliament with new standards and regulations to come into effect at a date to be released shortly. The Australasian Paintball Association (AUPBA), along with key paintball industry stakeholders, have worked towards these amendments for the last 10 years and we are excited to play our part in ushering in a new era for the sport.

Paintball Minimum Age Reduction
Changes include the much-anticipated reduction in the paintball minimum age in NSW from 16 years down to 12 years. This brings NSW more in line with the majority of the world with the US, UK, New Zealand, Europe and Canada all having an age limit of 10 years; and other Australian states like South Australia (10 years) and Western Australia (12 years). Families will now have a fun and inclusive activity to enjoy together in the great outdoors. Bonding, adrenaline, team work and physical activity all rolled into one action-packed and exciting session.
Change Has Arrived
The key points from this Cabinet approval include:
- The NSW government has agreed to modernise the regulatory structure and reduce red tape for the paintball industry, while maintaining robust public safety controls.
- The Government intends to introduce legislation in 2018-19 which will give effect to the new regulatory scheme.
- Under the new scheme, responsibility for regulating the industry will transfer from NSW Police to the Department of Finance, Service and Innovation (DFSI). There is expected to be a reduction in the minimum age for players, and streamlining of the permit system. Consumer protection and community safety remain two of the highest priorities for the government and these considerations underpin any legislative changes.
- It will take some time after the legislation passes the NSW Parliament to commence the new regulatory scheme – DFSI will need to put in place to the new IT infrastructure to support the scheme, and venues will need to ensure that public liability insurance, working with children checks and work health and safety systems are updated to prepare for these changes.
- DFSI looks forward to continuing to work with industry during the transition phase.
We will keep you updated on the imminent announcement of the date this legislation will come into effect which we expect to be on 1 July 2019. More details available via the AUPBA Press Release.
What to bring to paintball
Well paintball warriors, here’s something everyone likes to know. Being prepared is one of the best ways to win in paintball, so I’ll share a few tips to make sure you start your paintball battles with the right things! - Your fairy wings. - Tutu. - Just kidding, you can leave your fairy outfit at home. Feel free to wear a costume though! We love it when our paintball warriors dress up. - Yourself and your mates! Don’t forget to bring your mates; paintball is an awesome way to have fun on the run, and who better to share this epic experience with? - Clothes and perhaps a spare set. Even though we suit you up in one of our ninja suits, you may like a fresh set of clothes to go home in (paintball can be pretty sweaty work!) - Photo ID. Yep, we’re carding you! Paintball markers are technically firearms, and as such we need to double check the ages of all our warriors. - Water. We have plenty of yummy food and drinks on offer on our sites, but you can never be too prepared! - Don’t forget your ammo! We’ll kit you out with your suit, goggles and marker, but it can never hurt to have some extra ammo on hand to help your team out of sticky situations! We have some great deals on paintballs, and gun upgrades, so go all out! - A game plan. Domination is what this game is all about, and talking over your game plan on the ride to our playing fields could be the difference between ultimate domination and being totally annihilated by the other team! I hope this helps with your game day preparation! Don’t forget, I’ll be sharing more pro tips that will help you and your team have the best day of adrenaline fuelled adventure!
