The Association works closely with the firearm industry to promote responsible firearms handling among junior shooters across Australia.

In 1999 the organization sponsored an international workshop that focused on the marking and identification of firearms for the international law enforcement community, in conjunction with firearm manufacturers and dealers. The FBI , Interpol and the US Bureau Of Alcohol, Tobacco And Firearms were present. It has also worked closely with the National Firearm Dealers And Traders Council and the office of the federal Minister For Justice And Customs in the formulation of workable import regulations.

The SSAA publishes a range of publications, including Australian Shooter magazine, the Australian Shooters Journal , Hunter and Australian & New Zealand Handgun . The organization won national recognition for controlling feral pests in National Parks and farmland throughout Australia. It has purchased large tracts of land to preserve endangered species.
