The 22-year-old woman was flown to The Alfred hospital on January 8.
Police say the woman received the gunshot wound about 11.30pm on January 7 when she was sitting in a vehicle with two loaded rifles when one discharged.

"Years ago these type of incidents occurred frequently but they very rarely occur now," she said.
