By accessing and using the NSW Fishing Licences website ("the Site"), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site.

2. Description of service

NSW Fishing Licences provides an online service assisting individuals in applying for a fishing licence in New South Wales ("NSW"). We facilitate the collection and processing of your information to submit your application and accept online payments for the same.

We provide an easy-to-use online form for customers to submit their personal information. This form is designed to be straightforward, eliminating the confusion and complexity typically associated with government forms.

Upon completing the form, customers can make a payment directly on our website. This payment includes the cost of the fishing licence as stipulated by the government, along with a nominal service fee. This fee is our charge for the convenience and efficiency of our service and is included in the total amount payable at checkout.

Once the form and payment are completed, our team takes over. We act as an intermediary, entering the provided data into the government's official application system. This step is performed with precision and diligence, ensuring all information is accurately transferred.

After the government approves the fishing licence, we promptly email a copy to the applicant. This digital copy serves as a record and confirmation of the licence obtained through our service.

3. Authorisation to apply on behalf of application

By using the services of NSW Fishing Licences, you, as the applicant, explicitly grant us the authority to apply for a fishing licence on your behalf with the NSW Government. This authorisation is a crucial component of our service, enabling us to act as your representative in the application process. You affirm that all information provided is accurate and complete, and you expressly authorise us to submit the fishing licence application using the details you have supplied. It is your responsibility to ensure that the information you provide is up-to-date and truthful. By submitting your application through our platform, you are providing clear and explicit consent for NSW Fishing Licences to act on your behalf in all matters related to the application for your NSW fishing licence.
