Hi.. apologies for jumping into your thread with a random question…

I’m from Wales and have been seeing a lot of videos on this whole FIFO thing for Australia. Would anyone be so kind and answer a few questions if possible please?

*is it an actual thing or a big scam?

*is it possible for people form the UK to do?

*is there an age limit

If anyone could answer these for me that would be amazing. Thank you

Fly in fly out

You wouldn't be able to do that from uk no, live there, then fly to the job (usually middle of nowhere but has everything on site like a self contained village) depending on rotation it could be 8/3, so you'd fly in for 8 wk then fly out for 3wk

I do FIFO on a 2week on 2 week off roster.

Some people do live overseas mainly Bali and SE Asia, New Zealand.

You have to have the right to work in Australia.
