Question for Aussie's who are in the military

Stealthy!

If you are a member of the Australian Army, are you entitled to own a personal firearm?

I recently watched a few videos regarding the Swiss Armed Forces, and how they are able to keep their service weapons after they have left the army. This one bloke had numerous weapons from various family members in his safe at home.
 
But do you need to get the license, and have a good reason for owning a weapon [Like hunting or competition shooting]? I know that's what civilians have to do, but not sure if the same applies for Army.
 
And go through all the dramas of storing it, and then if you get posted interstate jump through hoops when getting it moved into your new MQ.
