Background

Your licence fees support ongoing communications work by NSW DPI using a wide range of media, including:

• Producing a wide range of advisory material for the summer fishing season including sticky rulers, bag and size limit flyers, and a range of other flyers and primefacts. These materials are distributed free of charge by Fishcare Volunteers, fee agents and Fisheries Officers and most can be downloaded on the web.
• Managing the information and advisory service which receives over 9,000 calls and 2,500 emails per year. Most of these enquiries are about recreational fishing rules and information.
• Managing a range of events and shows on behalf of the Department and the Recreational Fishing Trusts.
