as a basic deckie (deckhand) you have to have 4 basic certificates
Sea Survival
First Aid
Fire Fighting
Health and Safety for Fishermen
its legal must have. fisheries boarding parties will check the tickets of all the crew as well the catch
if you are signing on there's a pretty good chance the social will pay for them if you need it
there's a couple of prawn trawlers in shields that are after full time crew I believe, and if you have your tickets getting standby/casual work is an option if you are prepared to drop everything when asked
as a complete newcomer you are only likely to get a half share till you've proved yourself, but still a good working wage
