Much easier in Vic.
Over seas Visitors to vic can get a short term (I think 30 day lic)

If it's longer term in general you will need.
Apply for FAL
In Vic for deer buy a game lic for:
Deer, ducks, quail. Abt $55 per species a yr.
In all states you need a permit to buy any firearm. That's after you get the FAL

No crown land hunting in QLD, SA, and just stay away from WA. Firearms are very restricted.

Ask all you want

Thanks for this info. Sounds like Victoria is the best bet, I’ll do some more research to check the details. Might be best to bring my bow and hopefully I can hunt straight away.
