Tackle Shop Rebate

The Tackle Shop Rebate program offers Western Australians who have a current Recreational Fishing from Boat Licence a rebate of up to $50 on fishing gear purchased from participating tackle shops. 

The Tackle Shop Rebate program offers Western Australians who have a current Recreational Fishing from Boat Licence (RFBL) a rebate of up to $50 on fishing gear purchased from participating tackle shops. 

The program is part of the government’s Fisheries Support Package to support the recovery of demersal fish stocks. 

You can help by targeting sustainable, alternative species. Your local tackle shop’s staff can provide advice about suitable fishing opportunities and recommend the best gear for the job. 

Eligible purchases 

Eligible purchases include recreational fishing gear used solely for fishing, such as rods, reels and terminal tackle (e.g., lures, hooks and bait). Non-fishing gear or items that have general or multiple uses outside fishing, are not eligible. This includes items such as ice, drinks, food, water bottles, clothing, merchandise, camping equipment and boating equipment.

How to claim

You can claim the rebate in one of two ways:

  • ServiceWA app: The ServiceWA app is the fastest, most secure and most convenient way to claim.
  • Online form: If you are unable to claim through the ServiceWA app, or you are claiming on behalf of someone else, you can fill out an alternative claim form online.

If you need assistance, you can phone ServiceWA Customer Care on 13 33 92 (available 24/7), email support@digital.wa.gov.au or visit a DPIRD licensing office.
