Wants to be part of a team that’s hands-on, mission-driven and doing real work for better fishing and waterways across Australia.

If you’re a great communicator with strong people skills, a knack for community-building, and an appreciation for the power of a good fishing yarn — we want to hear from you.

Join us and help grow the grassroots movement that's changing the future for Australia’s fish, and the fishers who love them.
