The proposal would provide $2 million over 2 years to continue Seafood Industry Australia’s 'Stay Afloat' program dedicated to improving the mental health and wellbeing of the Australian commercial seafood industry. The funding will help extend the program’s reach and impact into communities and provide essential mental health support to fishers.

The proposal would be non-ongoing, distribute funding evenly over 2 years, and start on 1 July 2025.
