Editorial standards
Articles here are published under the name MineMate Editorial rather than an individual byline. That puts the burden of proof on this page — so here is exactly who publishes this, how we check what goes out, and how to tell us we got something wrong.
Who publishes this
The MineMate Blog is published by MineMate, a small independent business based in Perth, Western Australia, building a job-application tool for mining, FIFO and trades work.

How we check what we publish
- Every factual claim about visas, pay, tax, tickets or site safety links to the primary source it came from — the Department of Home Affairs, the Fair Work Ombudsman, WorkSafe WA, the relevant state mining regulator, or the ATO. If a claim has no verifiable source, it does not go in.
- We never invent a source, a statistic or a quote. Where something is uncertain or varies by employer, we say so rather than giving a tidy answer that is wrong.
- Published and updated dates are shown separately on every article, and the updated date only moves when the content actually changed — never to look fresh.
- Articles are reviewed on a recurring cycle against the current guidance from those institutional sources, because government pages and rules change without notice.
What we will never do
- Promise you a job, an interview, or a visa outcome. Nobody honest can.
- Publish paid placements or affiliate links dressed up as editorial.
- Take payment to include, exclude or rank an employer or recruiter.
General information, not advice
Everything here is general information about working in the WA resources sector. It is not migration, legal, financial or safety advice, and it is not a substitute for the official guidance linked in each article or for advice about your own situation.
Corrections
If something on this blog is wrong, out of date, or misleading, email admin@minemate.com.au and tell us what and where. We fix factual errors as soon as we can confirm them, and the article’s updated date changes when we do.
