Fish. Heal. Empower.
Our Listener Program
At the heart of AUSWIF is our Listener Program, which provides on-site mental health support during our multi-day therapeutic retreats. Trained professionals offer counselling and emotional care (Mental health professionals accredited in Mental Health first aid), giving participants the opportunity to heal in a supportive, culturally relevant environment. These retreats allow women to connect with nature and with their heritage, as our programs emphasise the passing down of cultural knowledge.
AUSWIF is committed to building a strong network of women within the fishing community. Through mentorship opportunities, networking events, and leadership workshops, we help women develop the skills and confidence needed to succeed in the fishing industry. We foster collaboration and create pathways for women to take on leadership roles in a traditionally male-dominated field.
In addition to our focus on mental health and empowerment, AUSWIF is passionate about sustainability. Our educational workshops teach sustainable fishing practices that respect the environment, to ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy Australia’s rich fishing heritage.
What we are all about…
Connecting to water | connecting yourself to nature | water is the flow of it all.
