Interstate restrictions

[Eastwoodblade]

I'm currently FIFO and there is potential of me not able to get to site via mainstream airlines obviously! What are the restrictions of flying myself QLD to WA private mine site.

You will need an exemption from WA govt to travel plus a letter from your employer and a WA arrivals form.
Mainstream airlines still flying to Perth however you will need to get your paperwork in order prior to disembarking. There are also restrictions in WA for movement between shires.

Expect to be met by Boarder Force.
They will inform you that if it turns out you are not exempt (from restrictions/isolation requirements), you will face a $50 000 fine.
(Don’t worry - it’s only Australian dollars )

Hey mate, I'm FIFO as well.. luckily for us our site has it's own airstrip. And we use corporate flights. Having said that our company has contracts at other mins all over the country. They where on the ball right from the start. Any of our employees working in another state to where they live already have exemption letters, so they can travel anywhere for work. then the next hurdle was the majority of airlines have shut down flights. So again our company stepped up and booked the same airline as my site to fly to other sites. Hopefully our company is on it.
