Thank you to all those that applied for the 2018 round of the Next Wave Future Leaders Program.
Recfishwest are happy to announce we have 14 quality candidates joining the team!
Team members will learn about Fisheries Management, Leadership and Communications over a two year term and work towards becoming leaders and ambassadors in the recreational fishing industry.
Past programs have provided fantastic benefits back to the sector. Let’s take a look at past team members and where they are now (click here).
“Joining the Next Wave team is not a free ride, you’ll work hard, you’ll learn, you’ll melt your brain with all the new information that becomes available to you but you will meet people, learn new things and open doors that might otherwise never open. All it takes is passion and a little commitment,” Luke Doherty, previous NextWave participant, said.
Do you love fishing? Do you have a passion for making a difference in your community? Do you believe Western Australia should have the best fishing found anywhere in the world? Do you want to influence fisheries management in WA?
If so, we want to hear from you!

Being part of the NextWave team is challenging, exciting, sometimes confronting, but ultimately extremely rewarding.
Previous participants in this program have gone onto achieve great things in fisheries management. Many now occupy roles in the recreational fishing sector and many future opportunities exist for the right people who are committed to making a difference.
Personal and professional leadership skill development assisted us in learning how to interpret and utilise the knowledge and skills we learnt to make changes and enhance fishing in WA.
“This course not only taught me valuable information about the fish and hobby I love, but created a great new network of friends and opened a door to a career in recreational fishing,” Nick Drummond, who now works at Triple 8 Abalone Hatchery in Bremer Bay, said.
Recfishwest CEO Dr Andrew Rowland added:
“This program unearths young talent to help further our commitment to protect and develop sustainable, enjoyable and safe fishing for all West Australians.”
