Knife Sales in NSW

It is illegal in New South Wales (NSW) to sell knives to anyone under the age of 18, unless there is a reasonable excuse such as the knife being required for work, education, or training.

Exceptions for Minors: A sale to a 16- or 17-year-old is permitted only if the seller has a reasonable excuse, such as verifying the knife is reasonably required for the young person's employment, study, or apprenticeship.

Under 16: Selling a knife to a child under 16 is an illegal offence.

ID Checks: Staff and business owners are expected to check valid photo identification (such as an Australian driver's licence, passport, or proof of age card) for anyone who looks under 25.
