DISCOVER FOR YOURSELF

This page is dedicated to supporting the loved ones of FIFO/DIDO workers who provide crucial support to our valued workers and their families. Remaining connected with your loved one while they’re away can be challenging. Here you will find a wide range of resources aimed at helping you support the mental health of FIFO/DIDO workers, manage your relationship, and stay connected with your partner or parent while they are away. Additionally, we offer guidance on self-care. Hear from past and current FIFO workers, as well as children of FIFO workers, and learn how they have managed the challenges of being apart from their loved ones.
