WORKFORCE WELLBEING
Partner with us to build a safer, more sustainable FIFO workforce
When FIFO families are supported, safety, retention and performance improve.
The FIFO Family Project is a specialist partner in FIFO workforce wellbeing, using family‑inclusive programs to improve safety, retention and engagement.
We understand the operational and psychosocial risks that arise when FIFO workers and their families are not adequately supported and we design evidence‑informed initiatives that directly address those risks.
By embedding family‑focused support into your wellbeing strategy, we strengthen workforce safety, retention and engagement, while delivering meaningful benefits for the communities you operate in and your broader ESG goals.

FIFO Family Wellbeing Program
A tailored wellbeing program designed around the realities of FIFO life – for workers on site and families at home – with a clear focus on safety, retention and reducing recruitment costs.
Program elements can include:
- Targeted workshops for workers and partners (including communication during swings, transitions on/off roster, supporting kids through change).
- Practical training for leaders, supervisors and HR on how to support FIFO parents and families, linked to the FIFO New Parents Guide, to improve retention around parental leave and other high‑risk transition points.
- Curated resources, checklists and communication guides that make it easier for families to navigate FIFO life day‑to‑day.
- Community‑building events or family days co‑branded with your organisation to strengthen connection and loyalty.
Outcomes include reduced distraction and pre‑absenteeism on site, improved family stability around key life stages (such as parental leave), stronger retention of experienced FIFO workers and lower recruitment and onboarding costs over time.

- Funding the donation of What Every Kid Needs to Know About FIFO: A–Z Edition to selected schools, libraries and educational charities, especially in FIFO and regional areas.
- TFFP has partnered with a specialist teaching charity to develop curriculum‑aligned lesson plans that sit alongside the book, giving primary teachers ready‑to‑use resources that link literacy with STEM and the resources sector.
- Opportunities for your employees to participate as role models or guest speakers, showcasing real‑world careers and pathways in your organisation and bringing STEM to life in the classroom.
- Co‑branded materials and agreed recognition that highlight your organisation’s investment in education, inclusion and future workforce pathways in the communities you operate in.
