Welcome
Fishing is one of the most popular recreational activities in Australia. Every year, over 600,000 Western Australian bait up and cast a line.
While so many fishers take for granted the opportunity of heading to the water and casting a line, in 2000 it became evident to a group of people that there were barriers hindering people with disabilities from being able to do the same. That awareness lead the Department of Fisheries Volunteer Fisheries Liaison Officers (VFLOs) to begin work on developing a program to provide opportunities for people with disabilities to get outdoors and enjoy the excitement and reward of fishing. As the idea caught on the “Fishers with Disabilities” programs took form and further developed into the formation of the Fishers with Disabilities Association Inc. (FwDAI).
