Life of a FIFO worker. 

Chur bro good insight for newbies cuz thanks bra

Great video mate

Hey mate, bit of a dumb question but.... 1) Do you keep the same room or do you get moved around everytime you came back for your shifts from days off? 2) Do the kitchen staff make lunch packs that you collect before going out on shift or do you come back the mess for a 30 min lunch or do you make your own before your day/night shift and take it out with you on site? 3) What’s the internet like for making video calls back to your family and to talk to your kids? 4) Is there any medical on site for things like physio, dentist, etc and is it covered by the company or is it out of pocket/health fund/Medicare type of payment? 5) Do you find that most people tend to just come back, grab a feed and hit the racks or is it pretty much people have time and energy to socialise and excercise after a 12hr shift? I ask because I do onsite refuelling on the GC for construction and mining gear, usually work between 10-12hr shifts doing mon-fri and some saturdays and by the time I get home I’m utterly destroyed and falling asleep eating dinner. 6) What’s the flight schedule like? Do you fly in and pretty start work that day or the next? How does it work with regards to getting from the airport to the site? On your last day off at home I’m assuming on a day shift, you’ll fly out early morning and be starting a shift the next day? Can you explain how that all works? 7) What advice to you have for guys with young kids looking to work in the mines on a possible 14/7 shift? And for the big one......what is the pay like and what are the entitlements for super, sick leave, annual leave, emergency leave/parental leave etc? What can an expected average weekly earning be after tax for a 12hr 14/7 shift? Thanks for the video by the way, it helps a guy like me who is seriously considering applying for a job to get his head around what I’m getting myself in for. G

When you fly up at the start of your swing do you fly in the morning and then go straight to work at the mine, or do you go up the night before and sleep at the camp first?

Awesome vid bro. One question, how many serves can you get in one meal?

How do you do a 12 hour shift, say you're tired, and then go for a run?

Hi mate! Great video, congratulations. When you are inside mine site, how many days you stay there? How many hours are shifts, 12 hours? Thank's.

Hi how are things

Hey mate, if you were a young single guy in his mid 20s would you opt for FIFO work? I'm moving to Perth this week from NZ, have a BSc so hoping to do geo work. Honestly I can see this lifestyle being tough for people with families but for me, the money and the time off make it seem pretty bloody perfect with where I am in life at the moment. Interested to hear your thoughts, cheers.

getting depressed just watching. Fuckin camp food
