The Association
The FwDAI is a not for profit association that delivers programs and activities designed to increase the active involvement of people with disabilities into recreational fishing.
The Western Australian coastline is host to many recreational fishing locations and through collaboration, information distribution and advocacy for access, the FwDAI aims to see many more locations accessible to people with disabilities.
Our Mission
To enhance the quality of life and self esteem of Western Australians with disabilities by a dual approach; providing recreational fishing activities and advocating inclusion into mainstream fishing opportunities.
