Fishability QLD has witnessed, first-hand, individuals sustaining tenancies, by feeling connected to community and being involved with a group who cares for them. Our motto is “Fish and forget”. Fishability QLD is now offering fishing packages every Wednesday at Bribie Island and Gold Coast locations.
Healthy exercise, and getting out there, is not a common occurrence in the lives of most people experiencing vulnerability. Fishability QLD is dedicated to breaking down the barriers of social isolation and bettering people’s lives through; skills and capacity building community access & support and outdoor fun.
“Fish and Forget”
Fishability QLD is a not for profit organisation, assisting people in the community who are at risk of social isolation and loneliness. Our target group includes people who have a lived experience with disabilities, mental and physical health, and people who do not have access to socially inclusive activities because of factors related to their age, culture or economic circumstances.
We provide regular fishing activities that address social isolation through building a safe and respectful community that people can identify with and have a sense of belonging to. In this environment there are many opportunities to develop and build on skills and confidence. Outdoor recreation, health and wellbeing, physical exercise, nature and water, lots of laughter and oh….yeah fishing! We love to fish together.
