The NSW Government is reminding fishers not to take the bait from non-Government websites when buying their NSW fishing licence this autumn and Easter period. The fishing has been hot this summer across NSW, and if you’re planning an upcoming trip, please remember that the Service NSW website is the ONLY official site for paying your NSW Recreational Fishing Fee.

We are aware that non-government websites have been offering to purchase fishing licences for you, but they’re charging unnecessary service fees.

The official NSW recreational fishing fees are:

  • $7 for 3 days
  • $14 for 1 month
  • $35 for 1 year
  • $85 for 3 years

The Service NSW website does not charge any extra fees, and the process takes just 3 minutes! Plus, you can link your 1-year or 3-year licence directly to the Service NSW app and fish instantly with your digital receipt. Don’t fall for unnecessary fees! Only use the official Service NSW website to pay for your licence –  Service NSW Fishing Licence
