VRFish Information

As the peak body representing a community of over 838,000 Victorians, the Victorian Recreational Fishing Peak Body (VRFish) works to consult broadly and communicate with the Victorian recreational fishing community, represent and advocate the views of recreational fishers to Government and their agencies and ensure full access to a diverse and healthy Victorian recreational fishery. VRFish provides support through facilitation, advocacy, education strategies and policy development. VRFish is a not for profit organisation established in 1995 and is funded by Victorian Recreational Fishing Licence (RFL) revenue.
