Possum harvesting continues to provide rewarding opportunities for both full-time and casual hunters. Our goal is to create long-term opportunities for hunters while maintaining strong, fair, and sustainable relationships throughout the industry.

The economic return from trapping and harvesting possum is directly related to how skilled, organised, and professional a hunter becomes. It has always been an industry that attracts participants with an entrepreneurial spirit, a love of the outdoors, and a willingness to learn new skills.

Over the decades, through both highs and lows, the industry has provided professional hunters and harvesters with strong earning potential and the flexibility to pursue other seasonal interests. It has also created meaningful part-time and weekend income opportunities for casual hunters.

For many professional hunters, the industry offers:

●       Consistent earning potential

●       Flexible seasonal work

●       Independence and lifestyle freedom

●       Opportunities to develop valuable skills and knowledge

For casual hunters, it can provide meaningful additional income through part-time or weekend harvesting.

We believe the future of the industry depends on ensuring both experienced hunters and new entrants have the support and opportunities they need to succeed.
