FIFO (fly-in, fly-out) jobs involve being transported out to site from a central location, commonly a city centre. This allows workers to take on highly-skilled and well-paid jobs in remote locations without having to relocate their lives and families. FIFO employees work in shifts for the time of their “swing”. These work blocks vary but are often for at least seven days in one roster, followed by a stretch of time back at home. When on shift, the workers live in on-site catered accommodation.

FIFO (Fly-In Fly-Out) enables the employment of workers who live geographically distanced from a specific work site, by flying them temporarily to the job for the duration of their roster (or swing, as it is often called). (iseekplant.com.au)
We offer an even time roster for our FIFO crew of 3 and 4-week swings, helping them maintain an equal work-life balance. (odysseygroup.au)
I wear Hi-Vis, work 12-14 hours a day and live in an accommodation camp at night. For all intents and purposes, I am a FIFO worker. (oneminutecloser.com.au)
