AddressAbout GFC
At GFC, we’re not just a company; we’re a community of passionate fishermen who’ve been casting our nets since 1950. As a 100% member-owned cooperative, we’re all about camaraderie, sustainability, and making waves in the seafood industry.
Why GFC?
- Rock Lobster Royalty: We’re not just any seafood processor—we’re the world’s largest rock lobster processor! With our supply chain handling a large portion of Western Australia’s commercial rock lobster catch, we’re the heartbeat of the ocean.
- Coastal Connections: Our operations span a thousand kilometres along WA’s pristine coastline. From Kalbarri to Augusta, we’re woven into the fabric of these communities.
- Economic Impact: GFC isn’t just about crayfish; it’s about creating value. We’re a significant contributor to the WA economy, and we’re proud of it.
What GFC looks for in employees.
- Adaptability: Our business tides ebb and flow, and we need team members who can ride those waves. If you thrive in a rapidly changing, highly seasonal environment, you’re our kind of sailor.
- Cooperative Spirit: We live by the 7 Co-Operative principles. If you’re passionate about community, member participation, and making a difference, you’ll fit right in.
- Collaboration Across Horizons: Our teams stretch from Geraldton to Perth, and beyond. If you can build strong, shipshape relationships without daily face-to-face interactions, you’re ready to sail with us.
- Value Creators: We’re all about sustainable economic value. If you have a knack for spotting opportunities and turning them into gold, welcome aboard!
