What we do

Fishcare Victoria is a not for profit, volunteer run organisation that creates welcoming, hands-on responsible fishing experiences that help people learn to fish, connect with their communities and care for our waterways.

Learn to Fish

Whether you’re picking up a fishing rod for the first time or building on the skills you already have, Fishcare makes learning to fish safe, practical and fun. Discover the basics of equipment, casting, fish handling and fishing responsibly, while learning how to care for Victoria’s waterways and wildlife.

FishAbility

Fishing is for everyone. Fishability programs provide welcoming, accessible and supported fishing experiences for people of all abilities. Working alongside community and disability organisations, Fishcare adapts activities to participants’ needs so everyone can enjoy learning new skills, connecting with others and spending time by the water.

Schools & Groups

Bring learning to life with a practical fishing experience designed for your school or community group. Fishcare sessions combine hands-on fishing skills with water safety, responsible fish handling and care for aquatic environments, with activities tailored to participants’ ages, abilities and learning needs.
