The FIFO Family

The Conscious Project - A podcast by Sarah Kearns

Categories:

Have you ever wondered what FIFO (fly in/ fly out) life would be like? When one person in the family literally flies or drives to work and doesn’t return for a week, two weeks or even more at a time? How do the families cope that are left behind? How does the worker cope, living at work for most of their lives? Meet Bron. Mum of 2 young boys and partner of Tony, a FIFO worker on a 3/1 roster. That's 3 weeks at work, 1 week home. Bron opens up about their family life, intimacy and how they make things work, all while going through fertility treatments.
