Guest cables Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Does anyone know if the Mining camps are close to towns / schools etc? And what the average pay is for a basic level position? - There is so much speculation about wages! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cables Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 ... and if you get a job in the mines, I believe they supply accommodation (or towards it) - is that for the family or just the employee? x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensdad Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Usually employee only and you fly in fly out for set rostas say 15 on 6 off etc. family stays at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Most of the mines sites are close to small towns with all the usual facilities, the FIFO started when the mining boom started and the mines needed to expand but couldnt get the staff to fill the vacancies, no one wanted to leave the comfort of Perth to a small backward town, now the problem is the towns have run out of accomodation because a lot of people have decided to move permanently, hence the mine accomodation camps, each mine is different so its worth investigating further.
