Can anyone point me in the right direction, or link the form I need to fill out to transfer weapon ownership of my firearm to my father and his license?
All I can seem to find is Form 4E: Application for transfer of weapon(s) (Individual licence holders only—no change of weapons ownership)

I'm sure few would argue with you, but Queensland specifically classes firearms as weapons and issues weapons licences, not firearm licences.

When the pta arrives ya both go to the LGS they make sure the paperwork is correct and the firearm is in a safe working condition. Then they send off paperwork after charging ya a brokerage fee.

Do you mean you can't transfer a firearm in Qld that is not inspected to be in safe working condition?

In theory yes....however it doesn't always happen in practice.
If the licensed dealer believes the firearm is not safe to use or is not properly disabled(needs a cert) then they can block the sale.

I've traded a lot of firearms, over many years, and through many dealers, and NEVER had is suggested that a f/a dealer is supposed to check the safe functionality of the firearm been transferred.
Perhaps you can point us in the direction of the relevant section of the Act or Regulation that pertains to that requirement.

Your Father needs to do a pta nominating whatever gun dealer you choose to do the transfer as the seller even though the gun is yours, when it comes in you and he go into your dealer with the gun and the dealer signs it off your licence and onto your fathers then you are done.
You can't transfer a firearm without going though a dealer even for a private sale or to give it to a family member.
As has been said above ya dad gets a pta with your details (not LGS) in the disposers section. When the pta arrives ya both go to the LGS they make sure the paperwork is correct and the firearm is what the paperwork says it is. Then they send off paperwork after charging ya a brokerage fee.
