hi cedricsnow,
last time i heard, the going rate for a victorian commercial abalone licence was around $5-6 million dollars. still interested?
if so, then you can contact Fisheries Victoria and ask to speak to the Abalone fishery manager and see he should be able to help you to get in contact with anyone tring to exit the industry. i believe the commercial abalone fisherman also have a professional association you might like to contact. i forget their name. in any case, if you contact the Seafood Industry Victoria (SIV) they will be able to help you.

An alternative to buying a commercial abalone licence is to grow abalone in an aquaculture environment. Getting a licence to carry out aquaculture might be easier to get.
best of luck!
cheers, glen
