About
The FRDC does not undertake research itself; rather it identifies research and development needs - and the means of addressing them - through a planning process and by contracting with research providers. Stakeholders in the FRDC are the fishing industry; the governments of the Commonwealth, the states and the territories; and the people of Australia. Our RoleThe FRDC plans, invests in and manages fisheries research and development throughout Australia. It is a statutory authority within the portfolio of the federal Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, jointly funded by the Australian Government and the fishing industry. MissionThe FRDC's mission is to increase economic and social benefits for the fishing industry and the people of Australia, through planned investment in research and development, in an ecologically sustainable framework. The FRDC's vision is three-fold:For Industry An Australian fishing industry in which:
For the Community A community that is well-informed about, and supportive of, the fishing industry and the natural resources on which it depends. For Fisheries Research An excellent fisheries research sector that is forward-looking, innovative and responsive in supporting the industry and the community.
