Fitness and mental health go hand-in-hand and oftentimes focusing on fitness can be a valuable release.
In fact, a study followed by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners has found that providing avenues of fitness for people can significantly reduce the risk of mental health issues.
Here at Cater Care, we understand the strength and value behind keeping our team members fit and healthy, particularly our fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) workers. The FIFO lifestyle can take a physical and mental toll if you don’t prioritise holistically taking care of yourself.
Our Health and Lifestyle Coordinators are here to help you do just that – it’s just like having a free personal trainer while out on site!
Whether it be creating a tailored program for your visits to gyms on mine sites, or running group classes for FIFO workers, or even organising social events to bring the community together, a Health and Lifestyle Coordinator does it all and will get you working out – FIFO style!
Supported by Cater Care’s RISE Physical program, which provides resources, equipment and training regarding FIFO fitness, there’s an abundance of ways to prioritise your health and safety on mines. Not to mention, the RISE Physical program complements the RISE Healthy Eating program, which ensures that the meals we provide for our FIFO workers are nutritious, nourishing and can benefit your overall health.

Himal demonstrates teamwork daily and without seeking praise or reward. A recent instance of going above and beyond was changing 30 monitors in the Brisbane office, which would cause downtime for the wider team. When asked how he planned to do this, he responded, “I will come in over the weekend so that it won’t affect or disrupt anyone’s work.” Himal always ensures everyone is supported and has what they need to do their jobs. His commitment to teamwork is commendable.
Customer Care Excellence Award
James Milson Woolwich is a one-person site, which means Claire works closely with the site’s care staff to assist in providing the residents’ daily requirements and meal service. Unfortunately, with the current staffing challenges, staff don’t always arrive, which results in Claire staying back to continue service, often with little notice. Claire never complains and always puts the needs of her residents first, and stays on site to ensure the residents’ dining experience is enjoyable and timely. Claire demonstrates great customer care every day.
Safety Champion Excellence Award
Nitika joined the team in the midst of COVID-19. Her can-do attitude and supportive, informative approach uplift the sites’ morale. Nitika respects a site team’s responsibility to service, so her willingness to take a flexible approach and work with a team to ensure incidents are reviewed and action is taken results in the best outcome. Although Nitika’s role is safety, it is important to also acknowledge her positive impact while working in partnership for safety and that safety is not seen as just another routine task.
Culinary Excellence Award
Martin receives only praise and positive comments from all corners of Westminster School in SA. Boarders, parents, school staff, board members and the school community are so impressed with his commitment to fresh, tasty food presented in the best way possible that they often share feedback.

Leadership Excellence Award
From the outset, Shaun has been committed to building his team into the most efficient and safety-conscious team through continuous encouragement and training. To facilitate action, not just words, he set up a safety centre with a laptop for his team to participate in Cater Care and the client’s safety learnings and shares. This leadership approach contributed to Shaun and his team recently achieving 100 incident and injury-free days. Congratulations to the team Jacinth Ambrosia!
