Need help with licensing (vic) Legislation- Victoria

Just need some help with the identification referee part of my license I don’t know anyone on the list at all after trying for 4 months I can’t find a single person who will help so that’s completely off the table but I was calling around a few hunting stores last night and a couple of them mentioned a way to do it that involves getting a statutory declaration instead but they couldn’t really explain it very well wondering if anyone here has had any experience doing it this way and can point me in the right direction

Also I think its really interesting that you require the referee for a longarms licence but not for a provisional / full handgun licence. At least here in VIC anyways.

I think its because to actually purchase a handgun and own it you have to have been with a club for 6 months, so therefore they will be essentially your referee.
