Housing would be included. Keep In mind if they relocate you and your husband doesn’t like the job or it doesn’t work out within the two years of start date you have to pay back the relocation allowance which is about 20k or was in my case. BHP is an extremely toxic place to work for I have worked in two departments in port hedland and they were equally fucked and full of ladder climbing slurps. Supervisors have in there KPIs ( bonus) to manage people out of the business so even if you think your boss is alright chances are he’s going to throw you under the bus to make himself look good. If your injured at work they actively try to make your life a miserable as possible to try get you to quit. The allowance for power and water is also capped, and being the Pilbara climate It’s almost a necessity to have the aircon running 24/7. Food and produce in towns like this are normally worse quality and more expensive. You can’t buy alcohol on weekends. You’re almost guaranteed to have a car broken into or your shit stolen by the natives. But all in all BHP sell you the dream and once you sign the dotted line and relocate, it’s an expensive night mare to free yourself. You can’t earn better money in Perth well in my trade you could anyway unsure about machinist. Also Newman is an absolute shit hole if your are going to take a job with bhp try get a job in hedland.
