The Women's Industry Network was formed in 1996 by a group of women in fishing in South Australia and has since developed into a National body with organisation in each state.
This year WIN celebrates 12 years. If you are a woman in the fishing and seafood industry please join us in our celebrations this year.
WINSC is the only national organisation in Australia representing women in the seafood industry.
It is a unique network covering the tough, high-tech world of commercial fishing, the cutting edge aquaculture, research and processing sectors and policy and resource management.
The objectives of WINSC are:
- Recognise and enhance the skills of seafood women.
- Develop effective partnerships with government agencies and other industry stakeholders.
- Take a professional approach to all activities and relationships with other stakeholders.
- Create a supportive environment to ensure women of the fishing industry reach their potential.
- Actively encourage the involvement of seafood women.
- Provide community education on all aspects of the seafood industry.
Wherever they work, WINSC builds the capacity of its seafood women to contribute to their industry.
