What is a live in fly in fly out mining job?

Live In Fly In Fly Out (FIFO) mining jobs are positions in the mining industry where employees are flown to a remote site to work for a set period, then flown back home for a period of rest. Workers typically live on-site in provided accommodations during their rostered work shifts, which can range from several days to weeks. This arrangement allows mining companies to recruit from a larger talent pool and enables workers to maintain their home life in a different location. FIFO jobs are common in regions where mines are too remote for daily commuting.
