Yes you can for sure. Take me as inspiration. I didn’t have any experience, trade or mechanical background and I didn't have anything organized before landing. I started the whole process when I landed in Perth. I’ve helped 100s of people come over and get into FIFO, many of them with no experience. Obviously it would benefit you greatly if you had any kind or trade or laboring background, but this is not absolutely essential. I have a checklist of everything you need to do in my step by step FIFO guide. It has worked for many people before, no reason why it can’t work for you too.

Seek.com is the biggest job website in Australia. Applying to jobs through this site is only your first step. If you want to standout from the 1000s of applicants, you need to be contacting companies directly. This adds a personal touch and makes you more memorable to the recruiter. I have compiled a 10 page list of email address, phone numbers and website links of FIFO companies for you to target.

It will really depend on the job role you are going for. Listen to my video about my FIFO Tickets and also. My Biggest FIFO mistake Video on my Tik Tok and Insatgram. Only get the tickets that are relevant for your role. However, a White card is a must for pretty much every role in the FIFO and construction industries. Its easy to get in 1 day and loads of places do it. Then they get tickets aimed at their specific job role. For example with me being a serviceman I have to drive my service truck so I needed the HR license for my role.

I would advise you have your phone consultation with W1N W1N first before you book any tickets. They will tell you exactly what tickets to get to help you get your desired role. They are the experts ask them whatever questions you want in your consultation.

First step is you need a professional Resume and cover letter to get past the applicant tracking system that most recruiters use. I explain this in way more detail in my social media video ‘Your FIFO Resume Matters’ so go and watch that. For this stage I used W1N W1N Recruitment, Resumes and Career Consultation. I got their Job Jumpstarter package which included; a professional resume & cover letter, a Seek and Linkedin profile update and continuous 1:1 consulting where they advised me on what to do next and who to contact. This team of ladies has over 30 years of experience with getting people FIFO Jobs. Highly recommend them. I have sent heaps of people to them, many of them have been successful and are now working. I was offered a job 28 days after landing in Australia and they were a key part in this happening so quickly.

I also have a discount code for every service they offer (See below). They offer 20 minute call consultations and resume packages to suit all budgets.

It is possible yes! You and your partner/friend need to have the correct credentials the employer is looking for to fill their roles. On my crew we had around 3 or 4 couples that were on the same site and same roster. It is possible, just a bit harder. You both need to be as attractive as possible to the employer, and whoever gets a callback or job offer, then asks if there are any roles for their partner too. The more employable person can also get up onto a site first and then try and network / make contacts and find out who to speak to about your partner. To give you both the best chance of becoming employable, I have a whole section on FIFO couples in the guide. It's all in there.

If you have any operating tickets from overseas, unfortunately these will not be recognised in Australia. You will have to transfer them over to get the equivalent over here. Annoying I know, but Australia wants everything to be on ‘Australian Standards’. At least you won't need to do the full course again. However, you WILL NEED to do what is known as a ‘Recognition of Prior Learning’ (RPL).

To do this you will need to go through a company like Cailin Mining and Civil. An Irish owned company that specialises in machine training and also helps people swap over their machine tickets from back home. They will give you a nationally recognised ticket that you can put on your resume to aid your chances of employment. I know heaps of people that have used their service, and they have amazing feedback. You can also go back for free after you've got your ticket just so practice on the machines and get your confidence up.

It would be very rare for a mining company to hire you whilst not in Australia. Unless you were very good/experienced at your role and valuable to them. E.g. a top-level digger operator or grader operator. Or if you’re trained and skilled in a high-demand trade like a fitter or something like that. These mining companies have 1000s of applicants that are already based in Australia applying for roles. They will hire someone on their doorstep before hiring someone from overseas. Move to Australia first, then start the whole recruitment process. That's what I did. There is honestly no point in applying until you're in Australia, have the relevant tickets, and you have your resume done up professionally by the W1N W1N ladies. You need to focus on making yourself look as attractive as possible first.

18 is the minimum age to get the tickets. There is no age limit for FIFO, we had guys working that were in their 60s. However, for people from Ireland and the UK, the age limit for the Working Holiday Visa (WHV) is 18-35. You will need to check this depending on what country you are coming from.

If you are too old to get the WHV, then you will have to go through a migration agent. I can recommend one. You simply book a phone consultation with him to discuss your options and he will tell you if you are eligible and take you through the whole process. He charges a fee of course, but anyone that doesnt qualify for the WHV will have to go through him or another agent. For anyone seeking more info on any visas, sponsorship or migration, he is the guy to speak to! Very experienced and knowledgeable.

Yes I have designed another step by step guide that is specifically for people that are already based in Australia. This one is just all the FIFO information, recommendations and advice. All you need to do is start at the beginning and work your way through it and it has worked for many people already. The main guide I have is for moving over to Australia from overseas, so has all the info about moving and getting everything set up like visas, bank accounts, phone etc. Obvious you don’t need this information. Thats why I designed this one. You can get this guide in my additional resources section of my website.

FIFO has a lot of pros and cons. I talk about this in my socials and go into more detail in my guide. Before you fully commit and start spending on flights and visas, you want to make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into. I’d recommend getting my step-by-step guide because I talk in depth about my journey. You will know more about what you're up against, what lies ahead of you and it will help you make a better-informed decision before you fully commit to the move. It’s helped many people already get FIFO jobs. It can also help you!
