Frequently Asked Questions

What is FIFO

FIFO means Fly In Fly Out.

Other similar jobs types are DIDO (Drive In Drive Out) and BIBO (Bus In Bus Out)

Where do I stay when working FIFO

Your company will provide accommodation and food while you are on swing.

That's right, food and accommodation are free! Let the savings begin.

How much does FIFO work pay

FIFO work generally has a lot of hours and higher hourly rates than working in the city.

You can expect starting pay of $35-40 per hour and 70-84 hours per week.
