PIRATES INC.

PAID RECOVERY AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

SHARE YOUR ADVENTURES. SUPPORT RECOVERY. BUILD CONNECTION.

No Pirate Left Ashore.

Pirates Inc. is establishing a nationwide network of paid Recovery Ambassadors who share a love of the outdoors and a genuine desire to live free from alcohol and harmful drug use.

You don't need to have completed your recovery journey. Whether you're taking your first steps or have been in recovery for years, what matters is your willingness to make positive changes and help build a supportive community.

Through fishing, crabbing, camping, boating, four-wheel driving and outdoor adventures, our ambassadors help promote connection, belonging and suicide prevention awareness.

Making the Invisible Visible.

​

WHO CAN BECOME AN AMBASSADOR?

We're looking for people across Australia who:

• Have a genuine desire to stop drinking or using drugs, or to maintain their recovery.

• Enjoy fishing, outdoor activities and community involvement.

• Are willing to promote a positive, alcohol- and drug-free lifestyle.

• Can create and share engaging outdoor content.

• Want to help strengthen their local community.

• Are willing to help coordinate one Pirates fishing competition each year.

You don't need to be fully recovered. You just need the desire to move forward.

Participation in a 12-step fellowship is welcome but not compulsory.

We respect everyone's privacy. Ambassadors are never required to publicly share their recovery history.

PAID WEEKLY CONTENT CREATION

YOUR ADVENTURES. YOUR STORY. YOUR CONTRIBUTION.

Our ambassadors receive weekly payment for agreed content-creation work.

The aim is to produce approximately one original outdoor adventure video each week, subject to their agreed paid working hours and responsibilities.

Content can feature:

• Fishing, crabbing and prawning

• Camping and boating

• Four-wheel driving and outdoor cooking

• Nature, wildlife and conservation

• Friendship, kindness and community involvement

• Healthy activities and recovery-positive experiences

Ambassadors publish approved content to their own social media profiles, tag Pirates Inc. and use #piratesofftheplank.

Content is also submitted to our shared Microsoft OneDrive folder for review and potential publication on Pirates Inc. platforms.

We celebrate positive experiences without expecting anyone to disclose personal struggles.

Weekly pay, content expectations and working hours will be confirmed in a written agreement.

META SMART GLASSES PROVIDED

CAPTURE YOUR ADVENTURES HANDS-FREE

Selected ambassadors may receive Meta smart glasses on loan to help capture and share their experiences.

Pirates Inc. provides equipment guidance, content support and access to shared digital systems.

The glasses remain Pirates Inc. property and must be returned when the arrangement finishes.

Safe filming, privacy and consent are essential.

YOUR EXCLUSIVE AMBASSADOR SHIRT

Every appointed ambassador receives an exclusive black Pirates Inc. Ambassador shirt featuring our distinctive pirate-inspired branding.

It's a symbol of belonging, responsibility and the positive example we hope our ambassadors will set.

One Crew. One Mission.

RECOVERY, SUPPORT AND BELONGING

PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION.

Recovery can look different for everyone.

Pirates Inc. aims to provide a respectful, recovery-supportive environment where people can develop confidence, build healthy routines and form meaningful friendships.

We encourage ambassadors to connect with suitable recovery resources, including 12-step fellowships, peer-support communities and professional alcohol and other drug services.

We don't expect perfection, and asking for help should never be a source of shame.

All official ambassador activities and fishing competitions are alcohol- and drug-free.

Pirates Inc. provides community connection and opportunities, not clinical addiction treatment or crisis intervention.

MAKING THE INVISIBLE VISIBLE.

Alcohol and other drug problems can contribute to emotional distress, isolation and increased suicide risk.

Our ambassador program seeks to encourage healthier lifestyles, genuine friendships and conversations about mental wellbeing.

Through #piratesofftheplank, we want people to know they matter and that support is available.

Our mission is not to promise recovery or prevent every tragedy.

It's to help create a community where people are encouraged to connect, reach out and seek help.

READY TO BECOME A PIRATE AMBASSADOR?

We're inviting expressions of interest from across Australia.

Tell us where you're based, what outdoor activities you enjoy, your content-creation interests and why you'd like to become involved.

We welcome applicants who are willing to support our recovery-focused values and contribute positively to the Pirates community.

You don't need to have all the answers. Just a willingness to take the next step.
