“ I learnt some new strategies and it allowed us to talk more openly about our relationship”
FIFO Support Program participant, 2009

Research on FIFO workers and their partners has shown that effective family support is crucial for a worker’s well-being and for good family functioning. However the nature and pressures of FIFO work can make such support difficult to develop and to sustain. This creates stress for families of FIFO workers. Furthermore, family concerns can impact on the ability of workers to concentrate at work and perform effectively on the job.

PRIMEXL offers a training program aimed at improving support for FIFO employees and their partners in WA.

What does the program cover?

• Providing an understanding of the impact of the fly-in fly-out lifestyle on relationships, including factors such as fatigue, stress and family functioning
• Developing a better understanding of you and your partner
• Learning when and where to fight fair
• Getting the most out of your time together
• How to manage conflict and stress when you’re physically apart
• Developing practical strategies to resolve problems when you and your partner have different expectations

This program can be facilitated in 3 x 2 hour sessions or as a one (1) day program.
