In New South Wales, a fishing licence is required for anyone aged 18 years and over who wants to fish in freshwater and saltwater environments. The funds collected from fishing licences are used to improve fishing opportunities, enhance fish habitats, and conduct research and stocking programs.

There are different types of fishing licences available in NSW including 3-day, 1-month, 1-year, and 3-year options. Pensioners and concession card holders are eligible for discounted fishing licences. Children under 18 years of age do not require a fishing licence when fishing in NSW waters.

To obtain a fishing licence in NSW, you can apply online through the Service NSW website, visit a Service NSW centre, or call the fishing licence hotline. It is important to carry your fishing licence with you whenever you are fishing as fisheries officers may conduct random checks.
