Australia's National Compliance Strategy

Australia's National Fisheries Compliance Strategy 2005-2010 was developed by the National Fisheries Compliance Committee, a committee of the Australian Fisheries Managers Forum which is currently Chaired by Victoria. The Strategy has been supported by all States and Territories

The Strategy outlines the strategic objectives that Australian fisheries agencies will pursue to promote voluntary compliance and create effective deterrence to illegal fishing activity. It also outlines the principles that agencies will use when planning cost-effective and efficient fisheries compliance programs.

This document will be used as a reference in developing local compliance strategies and plans thus ensuring a consistent approach to fisheries compliance throughout Australia.
