Hi, my name is Shane Wilkins, and I’m raising funds to relocate to Australia to work in the mining industry under a FIFO (Fly-In Fly-Out) arrangement. This opportunity would be life-changing — not only for me, but for my family, who I’m working hard to support every day.

Why I’m Fundraising

I have over 7 years of hands-on experience in kitchens, site labouring, and mechanical assembly. I’ve recently retrained in electrical installation and I’m actively pursuing work in Australia’s resource sector — particularly in FIFO mining jobs where workers are in high demand.

But getting there takes more than ambition. I need help with the initial costs, including:

• Travel to Australia

• Work visa application

• Required certifications (like a White Card, RSA, medicals)

• Accommodation while I secure employment

• Safety gear and work clothing

• Emergency funds while I transition

Why This Means So Much

I’m not just doing this for me. I want to build a better future for my family, provide security, and set an example of hard work and determination. Working in the mines can give me the financial stability I need to support my loved ones back home while gaining a foothold in a career I’ve been chasing for years.
