A juniors shooter permit is aged 12 to 18 and mush be under supervision of a fully licenced shooter
Once you are 18 you can apply for a full license.
As for a 22. all you need is a category A license.
Here are the
Categorys.
Category A: rim fire rifles (not semi-automatic), shotguns (not pump-action or semi-automatic), air rifles, and paintball markers.
Category B: centrefire rifles (not semi-automatic), muzzle loading firearms made after 1 January 1901.
Category C: semi-automatic rim fire rifles holding 10 or fewer rounds and pump-action or semi-automatic shotguns holding 5 or fewer rounds. (Restricted: only primary producers, occupational shooters, collectors and professional sporting shooters can own working Category C firearms)
Category D: semi-automatic centrefire rifles, pump-action/semi-automatic shotguns holding more than 5 rounds (Category D Firearms are restricted to occupational shooters.)
Category H: handguns including air pistols, deactivated handguns and guns less than 65 cm long. Target shooters are limited to handguns of .38" calibre or less.
12-17 for a junior license (must have an adult with a full license with you)
