Need

The WISA Power Up Breakfast at Seafood Directions is WISA's premier event. In 2022, the event was sold out within a few weeks of tickets online and we had a long waiting list. An important drawcard for the event was the high profile journalist Annabel Crabb as the keynote speaker (funded by FRDC as part of project 2018-174) who delivered a strong gender equality message while being highly entertaining. WISA received feedback that Power Up was one of Seafood Directions top events.

Objectives

1. increase awareness of the FRDC, WISA and industry’s understanding of gender inequality issues, opportunities and solutions
2. Enable a larger event and high calibre speaker at Power Up 2024
3. increase understanding of gender inequality issues, opportunities and solutions in fishing and aquaculture

Need

A comprehensive and wide ranging understanding of the current levels of engagement of women in the seafood sector will provide a valuable and ongoing resource to the wider seafood sector to increase women's engagement and participation.

To support and promote the value of fully engaged women participating effectively and helping to secure the future viability of the Australian seafood industry WISA needs to build critical skills of seafood women, delivered in a way that is accessible to them and encourages participation from rural and regional areas. This is particularly important for women under 30.

Researching (nationally and internationally) and better understanding the value of having greater diversity within seafood enterprises, associations, research agencies, at senior management, board and committee level will help WISA create an integrated online and offline skills development platform. The platform will need to be easily accessible by women, focused on the specific and particular needs of women and support and encourage greater participation by women in the seafood industry.

While there are resources available e.g e-leaders program there is a need for these resources to be reviewed and updated to target the specific needs of seafood women. Additionally, WISA needs to form strategic and mutually beneficial partnerships/alliances with other relevant organisations and networks and work with them to capitalise on opportunities provided through these partnerships.

Having skilled women is not sufficient to ensure that women are successful and effective contributors. It is also necessary to develop a specific pathway program for women to gain the confidence necessary to nominate and be selected for key management, board and committees. This will help seafood enterprises and organisations (industry, research and government) to increase diversity by enabling access to skilled women able to contribute to their success.

Objectives

1. 1 To create a baseline (quantitative and qualitative) against which progress and impact of WISA activities can be measured.
2. 2 To establish an online skills platform to provide access to training by women in rural and regional areas that will support greater diversity in seafood enterprises, research agencies and industry associations.
3. 3. To deliver the Women in Seafood Pathways program targeting at least 15 graduates initially.
4. To establish a communications and extension program to highlight the roles of women in seafood and the value diversity provides to the seafood industry and community.

Summary

This FRDC project, Understanding, supporting and promoting effective participation by women in the Australian seafood industry, was pivotal for WISA in supporting its future direction as an organisation. Research undertaken showcased the significance of the roles and contributions of seafood women and exposed the structural and cultural barriers faced by women in the industry. The provision of a bespoke entry level leadership program for women using an online format has provided WISA with greater understanding of the professional development needs of seafood women and how to deliver these effectively. The popularity and success of communication and extension activities incorporated into three key events throughout the project, including presentations, panel sessions, webinars, workshops and networking events, met several objectives including: increasing industry recognition of the contributions of seafood women, highlighting the value inclusion and diversity provides to industry and communities, and identifying ways forward to shift structures and cultures impeding women’s participation and progression in the industry. Underpinned and supported by this project, WISA underwent a renewal including developing a strategic framework to deliver more to its members targeting the evidence-based needs of women in seafood, as well as transitioning to a new company structure which has resulted in a more effectively governed organisation.

Summary

Women of the Australian Seafood Industry: Women’s contribution, their roles and what women need to succeed, reports the findings of the research component of the Women in Seafood Australasia (WISA) project: 2018-174 Understanding, supporting and promoting effective participation by women in the Australian seafood industry.
Women are an important component of the Australian seafood industry, present in every sector working in the supply chain and with the industry, and every organisation type. Until this project, Australia had little data on women’s contributions to the seafood industry and the roles women play. Furthermore, there was little industry-wide understanding of women’s experiences working in the Australian seafood industry, if and where there are inequalities and gendered differences in experiences, and where barriers lie to women fully participating and progressing in the industry.
This national project used a combination of data sources, including Australian Bureau of Statistics Census data, in depth key informant interviews, and an online survey, to reveal answers to these questions first asked by Women in Seafood Australasia twenty years ago.

Research undertaken showcased the significance of the roles and contributions of seafood women and exposed the structural and cultural barriers faced by women in the industry. The provision of a bespoke entry level leadership program for women using an online format has provided WISA with greater understanding of the professional development needs of seafood women and how to deliver these effectively. The popularity and success of communication and extension activities incorporated into three key events throughout the project, including presentations, panel sessions, webinars, workshops and networking events, met several objectives including: increasing industry recognition of the contributions of seafood women, highlighting the value inclusion and diversity provides to industry and communities, and identifying ways forward to shift structures and cultures impeding women’s participation and progression in the industry. Underpinned and supported by this project, WISA underwent a renewal including developing a strategic framework to deliver more to its members targeting the evidence-based needs of women in seafood, as well as transitioning to a new company structure which has resulted in a more effectively governed organisation.

Summary

Women of the Australian Seafood Industry: Women’s contribution, their roles and what women need to succeed, reports the findings of the research component of the Women in Seafood Australasia (WISA) project: 2018-174 Understanding, supporting and promoting effective participation by women in the Australian seafood industry.
Women are an important component of the Australian seafood industry, present in every sector working in the supply chain and with the industry, and every organisation type. Until this project, Australia had little data on women’s contributions to the seafood industry and the roles women play. Furthermore, there was little industry-wide understanding of women’s experiences working in the Australian seafood industry, if and where there are inequalities and gendered differences in experiences, and where barriers lie to women fully participating and progressing in the industry.
This national project used a combination of data sources, including Australian Bureau of Statistics Census data, in depth key informant interviews, and an online survey, to reveal answers to these questions first asked by Women in Seafood Australasia twenty years ago.

Need

Internationally it is well documented that despite having a high participation rate in the seafood industry women are very under represented in key decision making roles and have difficulty having their views heard and taken notice of. Other industries have found that supporting a greater involvement by women in decision making fora has provided industry wide benefits, and it is expected that such support would have the same result for seafood.

WINSC itself has recognised the need to better connect with all women in seafood, no matter what their roles may be. WINSC also needs to better understand and use anew technologies to improve communication, connection and support of women in seafood. This proposal seeks funding for 10 months to initiate and undertake the first stage of the proposed WINSC renewal process. This process aims to result in WINSC having capacity and capability to better connect with women in the seafood industry and to deliver support and services that help them to increase their profile, capitalise on and improve their skills and contributions as well as ensure better participation in key decision making roles.

WINSC also recognises the need to mainstream WINSC activities and to involve men as part of the network. In this context WINSC has identified an opportunity to support an annual Seafood Fresh Ideas seminar (to be held as part of Seafood Directions conference in the years that is held and as a stand alone activity in the years that it is not). This will be open to participants from the entire industry and will feature thought provoking presentations from futurists and innovative entrepreneurs. WINSC will explore the feasibility and practicality of this idea as part of the proposed stakeholder review process.

WINSC will also use the stakeholder review process to review the WINSC Bursary process to ensure that it meets the needs of WINSC and FRDC stakeholders

Objectives

1. To support the renewal of WINSC as a key organisation providing support to women in seafood through profiling their achievements and providing opportunities for personal development

WINSC builds the capacity of its seafood women to contribute to their industry.
 
The objectives of WINSC are to:
 
▪ Recognise and enhance the skills of seafood women.
▪ Develop effective partnerships with government agencies and other industry stakeholders.
▪ Take a professional approach to all activities and relationships with other stakeholders.
▪ Create a supportive environment to ensure women of the fishing industry reach their potential.
▪ Actively encourage the involvement of seafood women.
▪ Provide community education on all aspects of the seafood industry.

Data

Need

The role of women is poorly represented in fishing statistics and measures of productivity. There is more information available on fisheries production than there is on women's contribution to the fishing industry. Consequently, there is an immediate need for information to be gathered which will build a picture of the role that women play in the fishing industry and help to develop that role. Such information would provide insight into what areas of the fishing industry were of interest to individual women, what issues were of concern, and how women might develop an even more productive role in strengthening the fishing industry.

Developing an understanding of the issues of concern to women, improving skill levels of women involved in the fishing industry, and widening of the established network would all provide a better avenue for information exchange and support to all women across Australia .

This project has a number of objectives in meeting its overall aim to form a productive support network for women, through positive"people development", in order to enable them to develop skills that will enhance the role of women within their own working environment and the fishing industry as a whole.

Objectives

1. To add to and strengthen the existing role of WIN in promoting awareness of the roles of women of the fishing industry.
2. To increase the opportunities for women to participate in the decision-making process of their industry.
3. To facilitate the collection and dissemination of information to women within the fishing industry.
4. To build on existing networks such as WIN (SA) and SIN (NSW) with a view to developing a national focus for women in the fishing industry.

Summary

Traditionally there has been little emphasis placed on the role and contribution of women in the South Australian fishing industry. Many other primary industries, most notably dairy and grains, have invested significant resources in developing the role and skills of women. This has resulted in the more effective use of what was an untapped resource, in developing the industry.

During 1996 and 1997 a group of women associated with the fishing industry in South Australia began working together to address this situation. This resulted in the formulation of the Women's Industry Network. (WIN). WIN can be best described as a group of women joined or linked by a common cause, purpose, or interest, to ensure the fishing industry has a positive future.

In February 1998, WIN held a FRDC sponsored state workshop entitled "Capitalising on the Talents of Women in the South Australian Fishing Industry." Project No: 97/348. One of the outcomes of the workshop the development of a four-point action plan for future operations of the network so that it might best serve the needs of the fishing industry. After the workshop, women from around the state have adopted essential projects to assist the development and operation of WIN on a local and state base level.

A result of the training workshop the production of an information booklet to support regional WIN women in conducting meetings and performing committee roles was developed to act as a resource tool for these women.

The Fishing for Women study resulted in producing a research study of the current situation of the role of women in fishing across Australia. It identified areas of the industry which women wanted more input and action taken. The survey data was used to develop the two day national conference. The survey also recommended further studies be undertaken with women of the Australian fishing industry focussing on "grassroots" women.

The conference participants re-enforced the findings of the Fishing for Women study and participants developed and agreed upon the formulation of a national body to carry out their vision. An acting board was given the task to fulfil the vision.

Traditionally there has been little emphasis placed on the role and contribution of women in the South Australian fishing industry. Many other primary industries, most notably dairy and grains, have invested significant resources in developing the role and skills of women. This has resulted in the more effective use of what was an untapped resource, in developing the industry.

During 1996 and 1997 a group of women associated with the fishing industry in South Australia began working together to address this situation. This resulted in the formulation of the Women's Industry Network. (WIN). WIN can be best described as a group of women joined or linked by a common cause, purpose, or interest, to ensure the fishing industry has a positive future.

In February 1998, WIN held a FRDC sponsored state workshop entitled "Capitalising on the Talents of Women in the South Australian Fishing Industry." Project No: 97/348. One of the outcomes of the workshop the development of a four-point action plan for future operations of the network so that it might best serve the needs of the fishing industry. After the workshop, women from around the state have adopted essential projects to assist the development and operation of WIN on a local and state base level.

A result of the training workshop the production of an information booklet to support regional WIN women in conducting meetings and performing committee roles was developed to act as a resource tool for these women.

The Fishing for Women study resulted in producing a research study of the current situation of the role of women in fishing across Australia. It identified areas of the industry which women wanted more input and action taken. The survey data was used to develop the two day national conference. The survey also recommended further studies be undertaken with women of the Australian fishing industry focussing on "grassroots" women.

The conference participants re-enforced the findings of the Fishing for Women study and participants developed and agreed upon the formulation of a national body to carry out their vision. An acting board was given the task to fulfil the vision.

Need

The formation and subsequent development of WIN has been a major new initiative for the South Australian fishing and seafood industry. Having had a successful first 16 months of operation, the time is right to review and focus WIN with an aim of expanding the member base to include a broader cross section of the fishing industry.

Strategic planning is essential if this organisation is to provide benefits to individuals within the fishing and seafood industry, and the industry as a whole. Without planning for the future, the full potential of such an organisation will not be realised and members and the industry may become disillusioned about WIN's ability to achieve its goals.

This proposal aims to strengthen WIN by broadening and focussing its membership base and to prepare a plan for the future as an organisation. As part of this, there is a need to identify the strengths of WIN and focus these towards attaining its objectives. The project will also investigate ways of linking fisheries related agencies, organisations and associations with WIN to assist in this strategic planning for the South Australian fishing and seafood industry.

Women within this industry have often been the isolated and invisible partners. However, by working together industry may benefit from the diverse talents of these women. Following the establishment of networks and increasing the industry’s awareness of WIN over the past 16 months, WIN is now in a position to become focussed on what it is aiming to achieve and prepare a plan for achieving this. The result will be the development of a valuable resource for the state's fishing and seafood industry.

Objectives

1. To build on the existing network of women within the South Australian fishing and seafood industry.
2. To increase the level of communication between members of the Women's Industry Network
3. To develop a level of ownership of WIN among the women of the South Australian fishing and seafood industry.
4. To develop a plan for future directions for WIN.
5. To identify and develop the skills of women in the South Australian fishing and seafood industry.
6. To determine the role of WIN in relation to other agencies and organisations in South Australia.
7. To produce an action plan for the future operations of WIN.
