5   Compensation for surrendering prohibited firearms valued at under $2,500
(1)  This clause does not apply to prohibited firearms surrendered by or on behalf of firearms dealers.
(2)  The amount of compensation payable in accordance with section 78 of the Act for surrendering a prohibited firearm specified in Schedule 1 is:
(a)  if a single amount is specified for the firearm—the amount so specified in that Schedule, or
(b)  if the firearm is a used firearm—the amount specified in that Schedule for a used firearm of the type concerned, or
(c)  if the firearm is a new firearm—the amount specified in that Schedule for a new firearm of the type concerned.
6   Compensation for surrendering prohibited firearms valued at $2,500 or more
(1)  This clause does not apply to prohibited firearms surrendered by or on behalf of firearms dealers.
(2)  The amount of compensation payable in accordance with section 78 of the Act for surrendering a prohibited firearm specified in Schedule 2 is:

(b)  if the firearm is a used firearm—the amount specified in that Schedule for a used firearm of the type concerned, or
(c)  if the firearm is a new firearm—the amount specified in that Schedule for a new firearm of the type concerned.
(3)  In the case of a prohibited firearm specified in Schedule 2 as a non-military style firearm, the person surrendering the firearm may elect to submit the firearm for valuation (at the person’s own cost) by a firearms valuer approved by the Commissioner. If the firearm is submitted for valuation, the amount of compensation payable for the firearm is to be the amount as assessed by the valuer (regardless of whether that amount is less than the amount specified in Schedule 2).

Note—
The compensation scheme ends on 30 September 1997, and any such firearm that is placed on consignment for sale overseas will (if it remains unsold before that date) need to be surrendered before 30 September 1997 in order to be eligible for compensation.
7   Compensation for surrendering prohibited firearms not specified in Schedules
(1)  This clause does not apply to prohibited firearms surrendered by or on behalf of firearms dealers.
(2)  In the case of a prohibited firearm that is not specified in Schedule 1 or 2, the person surrendering the firearm is to submit the firearm (in accordance with arrangements approved by the Commissioner) for valuation by a firearms valuer approved by the Commissioner. The amount of compensation payable in accordance with section 78 of the Act for surrendering any such prohibited firearm is the amount as assessed by the valuer.
8   Compensation for surrendering prohibited firearms—firearms dealers
(1)  The amount of compensation payable in accordance with section 78 of the Act for surrendering a prohibited firearm acquired by a firearms dealer before 1 October 1996 is the amount equal to the firearms dealer’s retail sale price, as at 1 March 1996, for the firearm.
(2)  Before any such compensation is paid, the Commissioner may require proof of the retail sale price to be provided to the Commissioner by way of an invoice, sale docket or insurance valuation in relation to the firearm (or in such other manner or form as the Commissioner may require). Any such proof must be to the satisfaction of the Commissioner.
9   Compensation for surrendering things along with prohibited firearms
(1)  The compensation for surrendering a prohibited firearm to which section 78 of the Act applies may include an additional amount of compensation for any thing that is integral to the firearm and that is surrendered along with the firearm. Something is integral to a firearm if it cannot be used otherwise than in connection with the firearm, or if it has no real value otherwise than as part of the firearm (for example, an instruction manual, maintenance equipment, spare parts for the firearm, ammunition that cannot be used in any other type of firearm).
(2)  If any such thing is surrendered along with a prohibited firearm, its value is to be assessed by a firearms valuer approved by the Commissioner. The amount of compensation payable for surrendering the thing is the amount as assessed by the valuer.
