Fishability QLD formed through a partnership between “Bribie Island Boat Charters” and several smaller Community Groups over the past years, stemming back to 2013. Fishability QLD provide a range of socially inclusive fishing and outdoor recreational opportunities for people who experience disadvantage, isolation, and marginalisation.
Fishability QLD’s qualified staff and dedicated volunteers, head out into Bribie Island’s Pumicestone Passage on 8-12-seater BBQ boats, and explore the aquatic treasures hidden in our local surrounds. We also offer Health and Wellbeing Programs every Wednesday and Friday during off peak periods. Community onshore fishing and other fishing events in varying accessible locations are also offered to participants, free of charge.
