For resources employers
Relocation support for resources and mining executives
When the role is site-based or rotational, the family home is chosen for airport access and for the partner left running the household during swings.
Discuss This RelocationThe short answer
Relocation support for resources and mining executives focuses on a home base with reliable airport access for rotations, a suburb where the partner and children have community and support during swings, school catchment advice, and rental or purchase planning. Fees are fixed against an agreed scope.
What usually makes this move hard
Airport access
Early-morning flight timing makes the route to Brisbane Airport a first-order criterion.
Swing periods
The household runs without one adult for weeks at a time, so neighbours, schools and services carry more weight.
Two-region choices
Some households base on the Sunshine Coast and fly from Brisbane or Sunshine Coast Airport. The trade-off needs to be tested, not assumed.
What we cover
- Home-base comparison across Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast with real travel times
- Area orientation weighted to community, schools and support networks
- Rental search, inspections and application management
- School introductions and enrolment timing
- Settling-in support focused on the partner and children
- Handover to Home Scouts for buyers agent representation when buying
When the family is ready to buy, our sister company Home Scouts provides licensed buyers agent representation across Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, so the same local knowledge carries through to the purchase.
Common questions
Should a FIFO household base in Brisbane or on the Sunshine Coast?
It depends on the departure airport and roster. Brisbane usually wins on flight frequency and access; the Sunshine Coast usually wins on lifestyle and space for the family during swings. We test both against your actual roster.
Can you work with the partner while the employee is on site?
Yes. That is the normal arrangement - we keep both informed but do the day-to-day work with whoever is on the ground.
