Life in Jundee

Life in Australia

Newmont's Jundee operation in Western Australia sits on the edge of the Western Desert. Employees fly into the site to work with their shifts, and live in private quarters at an accomodation village during their stay. The camp features a large dining room, a tavern, squash courts, a synthetic tennis/indoor cricket court, a gymnasium and an Internet room. The closest town is Wiluna, 16 miles (50 kilometers) away. A local Aboriginal community, the Indigenous people who reside here come from different tribal groups.

Total Rewards

Newmont Asia Pacific provides additional benefits for all employees including full private health cover, novated lease arrangements, superannuation (Superannuation Guarantee Legislation) and salary sacrifice into superannuation or tools of trade. A generous relocation assistance package is offered to all employees transferring within the Asia Pacific Operations.

Viewpoints

I’ve been in the mining industry since 1987 and spent the last 17 working at fly-in/fly-out operations. The main thing that attracted me to Newmont when I started in January [2007] was the roster. My partner is a local, so it’s fantastic to be back in the area with a long-term view to settle permanently. We currently live in Perth, so I stay at the accommodation village during my roster and make the short trip back home, which makes family life so much more settled.

The town culture is great – you get to live more of a life. You can go up north for a while and chase the dollars, but the ideal roster and life balance is all here.

I’ve worked on a lot of projects during my career, and what drew me here was being involved in an exciting start-up project. The Boddington project is one of the biggest around, so it’s here to stay.
