Here is some recommendations and ideas on how to get a mining job in Australia.

For visitors to this page not from Australia or New Zealand and wanting to get a job or move to Australia. Should first visit the Australian Immigration web site for details about visa's. www.immi.gov.au

For people that are on Working holiday visa's they have the best chance of gaining employment through employment agencies only. They often have roles that they are urgent to fill, and you might be in luck. Search for "Shutdowns" as these job types they often require labourers for short term work. Good pay, temporary work but a good way for anyone to gain some mining experience. Have a look now at job vacancies sites like Seek to find a few roles to get an accurate idea of the requirements for the positions. Each Australian State the mining requirements can be different.

Finding full time employment if you are on a working holiday visa in Australia through a mining company is hard. A lot of the jobs go through agencies these days anyway. There's the chance to get sponsorship if the company/contractor likes you, so work hard.

Anyone interested in getting a mining job in Australia should get prepared and gain the required mining tickets. This the general requirements for Western Australia.

  • Marcsta
  • Senior First Aid Certificate
  • MWHS
  • HR Licence (becoming more important)
  • Confined Spaces ( good for shutdowns)
  • National Police Clearance
  • Fork lift (often required for shutdowns and other entry level jobs)

You also have to be aware the mining industry has a zero drug and alcohol tolerance and before you commence employment you will need a sit a drug and alcohol test. The employer will arrange this for you in most cases.

Once you have the tickets if then a case of finding suitable contracting companies in the mining industry, keep in eye on mining employment sites and check agencies web sites for entry level jobs like shutdowns. Then get busy and apply! Always good to follow up by phone call when you apply for a job, good way to build a rapport with the HR manager and good way to show your serious about the position.
