About MiningReady
MiningReady is an independent guide for people getting into Australian mining, and for the businesses that supply mine sites. It covers tickets and licences, FIFO jobs, salaries, mining towns, employers, events and suppliers. It is not a recruiter, a training provider or a mining company.
What we cover
- Tickets and licences: what each one is, state rules, and published course prices from training providers.
- FIFO jobs and careers: entry level roles, where employers advertise, rosters and camp life.
- Salaries: pay by role from published salary data and the Mining Industry Award.
- Mining towns, mining companies, events and supplier guides.
How we check facts
- Facts such as prices, licence rules, pay rates and event dates come from a named public source, usually a regulator, government agency, award, training provider or the company itself. We link to that source next to the fact.
- Each sourced fact shows the date we last checked it.
- We do not estimate prices, pay rates or statistics. If we cannot find a published source, we leave the figure out and say so.
- Rules differ between states and change over time. Always confirm with the regulator or provider before you book or apply.
Independence and money
Nobody pays to be listed or to rank higher in a comparison table or the directory. Some outbound links may be partner links and pages may show labelled advertising. The full rules are on how we list and how we make money, including our ownership disclosure.
Corrections
We recheck pages against their sources and update the checked date when we do. When a source changes, the page changes with it. If a fact on a page no longer matches its linked source, the source is the one to trust.
