I think it's important to have an understanding of the Act and Regulations in matters such as this.
I have no idea what NSW does, or does not, permit but in Queensland ONLY a range officer can supervise an unlicensed person as per this part of the Act, Section 53, para (5) & (6) : -
(5) The range officer must ensure the person is supervised by the range officer or another range officer at all times when the person is in physical possession of the weapon.
Maximum penalty—20 penalty units.
(6) For subsection (5), if the person is in physical possession of a category H weapon, the supervision of the person by a range officer must be direct, personal and exclusive supervision by the range officer at all times when that person is in physical possession of the weapon.
Might pay to check what the legislation says, else the R.O. may be putting his neck in the proverbial.
