Support Your Workforce,
Strengthen Your Organisation
FIFO work brings unique mental and emotional pressures that affect not only the worker but also their home life, and in turn, their performance on site. As an employer, offering mental health support isn’t just about compliance. It’s a proactive step toward building safer, more productive and more loyal teams.
At Lifeskills Australia, we provide FIFO counselling services that help organisations across Australia support workers and their families through the challenges of remote rosters, time away and relationship strain. Whether you’re in mining, oil and gas, infrastructure or logistics, we offer structured mental health support aligned with your workforce needs.
Why FIFO Counselling Matters for Your Business
Long periods away from home, high-pressure job demands and unpredictable family dynamics can lead to anxiety, fatigue and burnout. Left unsupported, these challenges increase the risk of presenteeism, absenteeism and turnover.
Our FIFO counselling programs help workers stay mentally fit and emotionally supported, both on and off shift. We provide a confidential space where staff and their families can manage stress, improve communication and navigate the impact of FIFO life, reducing personal strain and strengthening professional focus.
Every FIFO worker faces a different version of the same challenge: finding stability between demanding site schedules and the responsibilities waiting at home. We work with individuals, couples and families to help them navigate the reality of separation, emotional disconnection and role changes during rotations.
Support is offered through our offices or via secure remote delivery, so workers and their families can access care wherever they are based.
Counselling That Meets FIFO Demands
Our FIFO-specific services include:
Our team understands that time is limited and trust is earned. Every counselling plan is designed for impact, clarity and long-term value.
Partnership with Purpose
At Lifeskills Australia, we are more than a service provider. We partner with your business to understand your culture, listen to your workforce needs and deliver targeted support that reflects your commitment to wellbeing.
Whether you’re looking to implement FIFO counselling as a standalone support or as part of a broader EAP, we’ll guide you through the process from planning to delivery.
Corporate FIFO Counselling Aligned with Your Culture
Many companies now include FIFO counselling as part of their broader wellbeing or employee assistance initiatives. Our team works with HR and HSE leaders to design counselling services that integrate with your existing health strategies while remaining private and independent for the employee.
When you engage Lifeskills Australia, your organisation is not just meeting its duty of care. You’re making a long-term investment in workforce resilience, retention and morale.
Confidential Support That Builds Trust
We know that confidentiality is essential to the success of any workplace wellbeing program. All counselling provided by Lifeskills Australia is private. No information is reported back to employers unless consent is given or disclosure is legally required.
Our neutral, offsite support gives employees the freedom to speak openly and seek meaningful help, with benefits that flow back into their performance, behaviour and safety mindset.
FIFO Relationship and Family Counselling That Supports Retention
Strong relationships and stable home lives play a key role in whether workers continue in the FIFO model. When family dynamics break down, absenteeism and attrition often follow.
We offer relationship and family counselling that helps employees and their partners communicate effectively, manage stress and build resilience as a unit. Services are structured to fit within rosters and delivered in person, by phone or over video.
By helping workers stabilise their home life, your organisation protects workforce continuity and supports long-term commitment.
