Need

Throughout 2017-2019 FRDC established the Fish and Chip awards as a way to create debate around seafood, raise its profile and use this as a vehicle to promote information about sustainability, fisheries management and the R&D being undertaken to underpin it. The approach worked very well generating more than 90,000 votes, hundreds of media articles and millions of consumer views of that media coverage.

There is a need to ensure the base developed in the first three years is not lost and that SIA continues to build on it and centralise consumer-facing activities under the industry’s brand, Great Australian Seafood.

SIA will continue to deliver retailers, consumers and media information on the sustainability of Australian seafood, underutilised species, FishNames, CoOL, along with any other relevant R&D and extension.

In this initial year of SIA management, we will investigate the opportunities for sponsorship of the program and develop a timeline for a self-sustaining model.

There is also a need for SIA to demonstrate how an activity such as foodservice and consumer awards can deliver tangible results. To do this, SIA is looking to capture consumer opinion, engage retailers and measure behaviour.

Objectives

1. Transfer the Fish and Chip Awards from FRDC to SIA
2. Rebadge the Fish and Chip Awards as the Great Australian Seafood Fish and Chip Awards
3. Raise awareness of Great Australian Seafood as a source of seafood information for retailers and consumers
4. Drive consumer and retailer engagement with Great Australian Seafood and the Australian seafood industry
5. Improve consumer awareness of the sustainability of the Australian seafood industry
6. Maintain the database of fish and chip shops, and consumers
7. Develop sponsorship opportunities
8. Develop awards Legacy and Contingency Plan.

Summary

The Fish and Chip Awards are a celebration of Australia’s iconic Fish and Chips, and draws focus to the sustainability of Australian seafood, underutilised species, Fish Names, and Country of Origin Labelling in foodservice. The awards are popular with consumers, retailers, and media alike.
Fisheries Research and Development Corporation had run the Fish and Chip Awards since 2017. In 2021 the awards were transferred to Seafood Industry Australia (SIA) to run under the industry’s consumer-facing brand Great Australian Seafood and renamed the Great Australian Fish and Chip Awards.
This report provides an overview of the transfer of the awards to SIA and delivery of the Great Australian Fish and Chip Awards in 2021 and 2022.

Need

FRDC requires mechanisms to assess and govern the data for which it is custodian or may become custodian of. FRDC requires a data governance framework that builds on the concepts of the NFF Farm Data Code and other Agricultural data best practices for use by FRDC data stakeholders. A data governance framework will ensure that FRDC BAU and project data is captured, managed and distributed with accountability, consistency, security and meets defined standards throughout the data lifecycle. As a coordinating industry body, it is essential that FRDC leads the way with a robust, considered approach to data management. This will place FRDC as a best practice example, it will enable consistent discussion and guidance to stakeholders and data partners and will provide a consistent foundation for overall trust and capability in the use of data as well as providing a foundation for the FRDC to maximise the value of data created through the Australian innovation system. It is expected that subsets of the FRDC data governance framework will be developed in the future to extend support to FRDC stakeholderss.

Objectives

1. Development of a Data Governance Framework for use by FRDC and for FRDC to use to provide data governance advice and support to stakeholders
2. Identification of the processes, roles and policies required to ensure data quality, management and security
3. A documented FRDC data lifecycle
4. A documented approach to monitoring and review of the framework
5. Recommendations for training opportunities for future FRDC investment
6. 1-2 Written use cases to support the framework and aid adoption
