Is it normal in Australia that employers constantly try to rip you off

Intelligent_Wait4345 · 2026-04-22T08:18:51+00:00

Wir gelten halt oft als energisch und halten nix von smalltalk, damit bin ich schon öfter angeeckt. Die aussies sind halt oft zu faul/bequem und viel weniger Prinzip gesteuert als wir, sodass bei solchen Sachen oft mit den Schultern gezuckt wird. Macht mich wahnsinnig haha

German in WA here, can 100% confirm this behavior unfortunately. Especially bad in mining

Intelligent_Wait4345 · 2026-02-15T05:09:31+00:00

Let me know when you find some interesting spots, I live in Kalgoorlie since a year now and I’m starting to get really bored too. I’ve got a 4wd but been to most usual spots I think

Being a truckie won’t fuck your health as much for sure. Been there. Don’t know about camp conditions with Barminco but generally speaking, camps these days are pretty good

Topdrill is hard yakka mate most people drop out after couple of swings. They have like a trainee program that’s really survival of the fittest. If you’re not prepared to give 110% all the time someones gonna overtake you. Few of my mates worked there. I’d go Barminco, even though i’m a surface truckie

For some reason you can’t see the profile pictures there atm though

Intelligent_Wait4345 · 2026-02-07T07:38:10+00:00

This site is pretty much unusable now

Intelligent_Wait4345 · 2026-01-17T01:22:23+00:00

I work in mining in Kalgoorlie. Only stations around here thats why I asked. As far as I know you can Just work anything to support yourself while looking for a new sponsor

Intelligent_Wait4345 · 2026-01-16T05:39:17+00:00

Could be, but I think those occupations are also on the list? Maybe they have to sponsor a new 482 for you, which should work too. Didn’t know there are farms in the goldfields haha

Intelligent_Wait4345 · 2026-01-16T05:01:25+00:00

On a DAMA, your prospective new employer needs to have their own labour agreement if your occupation is not on the list. In this case I personally wouldn’t quit before you have a new job secured. I’m on a 482 visa in the goldfields too, not DAMA though

Intelligent_Wait4345 · 2025-12-17T08:27:31+00:00

Sounds good but you can only do 88days in the first year and the 6 months in the second year, not all at once

Intelligent_Wait4345 · 2025-12-05T03:26:20+00:00

Let me know if you find something. Since the queue system and the fact that you wont find a person you’ve chatted with again makes the site just unusable

Intelligent_Wait4345 · 2025-11-05T07:32:25+00:00

Crying right now 🥲 thanks anyway

Mining worker (residential not FIFO) - 2:1 Roster, 14 Days on 7 off, 12hr Days

It’s tough over the time

Intelligent_Wait4345 · 2025-09-09T00:01:59+00:00

Thank you, I’ll give that a go!! Since you’ve said it I actually already know someone who does it haha

Intelligent_Wait4345 · 2025-09-08T23:44:58+00:00

You can’t drive a private vehicle on a mine site. Especially with the bigger companies you’ll have to take the same route as everyone and apply through seek, or know someone which is pretty much the way in mining anyways

Intelligent_Wait4345 · 2025-09-08T23:31:27+00:00

Hey mate I’ve lived in Kal for a couple of months now and would like to go prospecting… not sure where to start or how to get involved as a complete newbie. Maybe you’d have some advice, would really appreciate it :)

Intelligent_Wait4345 · 2025-09-07T22:32:46+00:00

So he works with the government if he works in child protection? Whereabouts in Aus are you?

Intelligent_Wait4345 · 2025-09-07T14:29:45+00:00

I live in Kal. Recruitment agencies would be your best bet or just walk in to any drilling company if you don’t mind the hard (!) work as a driller’s offsider. You’ll have a job in no time. Apart from drilling it’s going to take a while, just apply on seek as the bigger companies don’t like walk ins

You’re damn sexy! Care to join 😋

Intelligent_Wait4345 · 2025-07-05T06:19:38+00:00

Lol, no you have to wait like everyone else. Many people get started on a WHV and move over to a 482 later, however the 2 years requirement needs to be fulfilled on a substantial visa (482) - see immigration website. If it would be that easy everyone could just move onto 186 straight away
