Training, employment and hands-on aquaculture
Work on Country
Pathways Through Oystering
Fisher's Oysters believes more First Nations families and communities should have opportunities for self-determination through oystering, local work and connection to the water.
The farms support pathways for people to learn skills, grow food and stay connected to Country and community.
The work is practical: learning on the farms with family, community and industry workers, and creating paid aquaculture work that supports local families.
Training and Employment on Working Farms
Aquaculture is physical, skilled outdoor work. It gives people hands-on experience with oyster farming, farm maintenance, food production and the conditions of Moreton Bay.
Fisher's Oysters is building a family-run operation where people can learn by doing, earn money and stay connected to Country through meaningful work on the water.
“Don't start with a business plan. Start with your people.”

On the Farms
Healthy oyster farms produce food, support local jobs, keep families connected to the water and create habitat for marine life in Moreton Bay.
- Learning on the farms with family, community and industry workers
- Paid aquaculture work that supports local families and community
- Oyster farms that support fish, crabs and other marine species
Family-Run and Growing
Fisher's Oysters operates three oyster farms on Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island), growing native rock oysters while continuing to expand into aquaculture and on-water opportunities connected to Country and community.
The goal is long-term: create opportunities that can support families now and open pathways for the next generation.
