Double-murderer Russell Tully is appealing his conviction and life sentence in prison.
The Court of Appeal has confirmed he filed the appeal on June 23.
Tully was convicted of murdering Work and Income receptionist Peggy Noble and case manager Susan Leigh Cleveland on September 1, 2014. The 50-year-old was also found guilty of the attempted murder of their colleague, Kim Adams, and unlawfully possessing two firearms.
He was found not guilty of the attempted murder of case worker Lindy Curtis, and not guilty of setting a man trap.

Tully was sentenced to life by Justice Cameron Mander in May, who called the shootings "callous, cold-blooded and calculated". He handed down a minimum non-parole period of 27 years.
Tully made it clear throughout the trial he would appeal, no matter the sentence.
Five victim impacts statements were read out in court during Tully's sentencing, the common theme among the women was the stress and impact the event still has on their lives.
Ms Adams, who narrowly escaped a bullet as she fled out the door, said she will never forget the day the person she tried to help tried to end her life.
A date for the hearing is yet to be decided.
