Working with Austral

ESCAPE

Ready for a change of scenery? Love the ocean? Leave land behind and say goodbye to the humdrum of daily life. Feel a sense of freedom as you traverse the water and get a fresh perspective. A new adventure awaits.

CHALLENGE

Up for a challenge? Fishing life will put your body and mind to the test. You’ll smash through your comfort zone and experience a lifestyle and job that’s vastly different to the norm while building a new career in the process.

MATESHIP

Nothing beats the camaraderie of a fishing boat! Make fast friends and experience a connection you could never share on land – the adventure of the seafaring lifestyle. Fishing friends become your family for life.

REWARD

It’s not all work with no reward. An epic prawn season provides a treasure trove back on land. Six months of hard fishing funds your lifestyle for six months to do what you love. You also learn new skills and experience career growth.

What our crew has to say

I don’t regret a single moment. I made friends for life and am still learning about the industry and the ocean every day.

I came from a construction background, I was a carpenter. Once I started fishing, I was hooked.

I’d recommend Austral to anyone who wants a career in fishing. They’re a great company to work for!

As a diver, I’ve always respected the ocean. Austral wants to develop, do better, and cause less impact on the ocean.
