In NSW you just need to be a member of an astronomy club and you can use hand held lasers for astronomy use.
Dont buy from eBay/overseas if its more than 1mw, it will likely get confiscated by customs and land you into trouble. There's a lot of red tape importing them.
Buying them from a store here is hard to find and expensive. They really make it difficult even for legitimate use.
Its easier and cheaper just to make one. The laws are silly, you cant import a complete laser unit but you can order the parts individually and just build one. You can get all the parts from Jaycar too.
