In Queensland it's similar, in that you need to be a member of a registered Astronomical club to use a laser greater than 1milliwatt, however there is no application or license required by the individual user, as far as I'm aware. The Qld Police website has a list of the registered/approved astronomical organizations under their "Shooting Clubs, ranges and galleries" section, so I dare say presenting a current membership card would be sufficient if questioned. That's bloody cheeky of the NSW Police to ask you to provide evidence of their own laws!
