“We’d been FIFO for years - we knew what the lifestyle involved, knew how to make it work. But add in a baby? It’s a whole new ballgame. I was absolutely not expecting that.”

SOOOO many FIFO families who have been living the lifestyle for years are shocked at how different it is with a new baby in the family.

But please know you’re not alone ❤️ it’s not “just hard because you’re a FIFO family” it’s a completely different parenting experience.

That’s why the “FIFO New Parents Guide” was created - completely free to download from our website and for BOTH parents (home and away).

Share this with a FIFO new parent or reach out via DM if you ever need more support ❤️

Swipe to see me 10 years ago. Flown back to site. Drawn-on eyebrows, stuck-on lashes, trying to feel normal. 👉

Everyone kept calling it a journey.

I can’t stand that word.

🍹 If I’m going on a journey, it blummin well better end on a tropical island with a cocktail in my hand... not in a chemo chair with a cocktail of drugs in my veins.

But that’s the word we were handed. And every time someone used it, I felt a little more invisible.

A little more alone.

Because here’s the thing nobody says out loud - it’s not just cancer. It’s not just FIFO. It’s not just new to a city with no family nearby.

Whatever your thing is - the word people use to describe your life probably isn’t the one you’d choose.

“If your words don’t come from the people who’ve lived it, they won’t reach the people who need it.”

You deserve better than that.
So do your kids.
So does your family.

That’s why The FIFO Family Project exists - built by people who’ve actually lived it. Not a brochure. Not a tick box.

Just real people, real stories and resources that actually make sense for your life.
