For more than 25 years, Yumbah has been a pioneer in sustainable aquaculture. What began as a land-based abalone farming business has grown organically and through acquisitions into Australia's leading diversified aquaculture business, with farming operations throughout South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania across Abalone, Oysters, Mussels and Kingfish.

Yumbah's success is built on three values that guide everything they do:

✅ Teamwork – We achieve more together.

✅ Daring – We embrace innovation and growth.

✅ Integrity – We respect each other, our product, and our environment.

Over the past 2 years the business has doubled in size, leading to a new People & Culture strategy and structure to support the expanded business and future growth plans.
