Fishability QLD provide a range of socially inclusive fishing opportunities for people in the community who are marginalised and have complex needs. Some of these fishing enthusiasts are homeless or formerly homeless, some are culturally disadvantaged or Forgotten Australians and some struggle with mental or physical disability. Without support and assistance, social isolation can impact on a person’s ability to participate in the community; it can contribute to or exacerbate depression, anxiety, loneliness and further impact people's lives leading to homelessness, suicidal ideation and substance abuse. The “Community Fish Off” and The Bribie Island Boat Charters Challenge are friendly fishing competitions between organisations and teams, held in locations throughout South East QLD. Fishability QLD gather with participants and fish off boats, platforms and piers provided by generous Bribie Boats, Brisbane City Council and the Queensland Government to combat social isolation.
