What are FIFO jobs?  

FIFO, or "Fly-in-fly-out," refers to a work arrangement where workers travel to a job site to complete their tasks, usually over the course of a week or two, before returning home once the job is finished. 

This work setup is commonly employed for jobs in rural or remote areas that are not easily accessible by regular commuting means.  While on the job, FIFO workers have their accommodation, meals, and sometimes recreational activities covered by their employer. The pay for these roles is usually higher to compensate for the inconveniences of being away from home.
