Working in the seafood industry comes with unique challenges and risks. But with those challenges, one thing remains the same:  everyone deserves to return home safe. This website supports Australia’s commercial seafood industry with practical safety information, tools, and real-world stories that highlight common hazards and safer ways of working. By sharing experiences, raising awareness of common risks, and promoting practical solutions, the site aims to strengthen safety practices across the industry.

The Sea Safe program aims to drive cultural change across the industry using a structured program logic that includes both quantitative and qualitative data over the short, medium, and long term. We are working to drive meaningful, lasting improvements in workplace safety culture, supporting individuals and businesses to build safer, more resilient operations. This includes developing practical resources, showcasing what works in real settings, and encouraging a proactive approach to safety across all sectors.

We also recognise that strong safety outcomes rely on industry-wide collaboration. Sea Safe invites people from all regions and roles to contribute their knowledge and experience, whether by sharing insights, engaging with resources, or helping to shape future initiatives. By working together, we can continue to improve safety and ensure a stronger, safer future for the Australian seafood industry.
