Searipple Markets Unite Local Community

November 24, 2021

Houses alone don’t make a village; people do. Community events are integral for creating a vibrant and liveable place.

The Searipple Markets in Karratha invited everyone to join in on the fun on a warm July evening. Guests, village residents and locals came together for a relaxed evening of fun, dance, entertainment, food and laughter.

The Searipple Workers Accommodation Village (Searipple Village) is located in Karratha, Western Australia. The purpose-built village is set on 15 hectares hosting over 1,300 rooms, making it one of the largest accommodation villages in Western Australia. Fleetwood delivered a full turn-key solution as part of a build, own and operate business model and continues to successfully run the thriving community that is Searipple Village. This short and long-term affordable accommodation solution has become a staple of the local community, assisting the resources and construction sector within the Pilbara for many years and generated thousands of jobs for the local community.

Community spirits were high as the crowd enjoyed the variety of market stalls, supported local small business, got their groove on with Amy & Ezra and watched their kids turn into colourful creatures with sparkling eyes.

There was endless entertainment on offer, including beautiful handcrafted jewellery, local jerky, bouncy castles, face painting, henna tattoos and so much more.

Local Karratha heroes brought the event to life and it will certainly be an evening to remember for all those that came out to enjoy it. Who knows, maybe the markets might even be back next year!

Tips for Starting FIFO

April 27, 2021

Thinking of getting a job in the mines? With so many mining-related jobs in remote areas, fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) work is popular among Australians. Despite being isolating at times, it can be incredibly lucrative and doesn’t require permanent relocation, allowing you to work all over the country.

Where to start

If you’re interested in FIFO work, here are some tips for getting started.

Tip 1: Register with recruitment sites

One of the first steps to securing a FIFO job is to register with relevant recruitment sites. This will give you a better chance of hearing about eligible positions and advancing through the employment process. Be persistent and take steps to develop your skills and qualifications. You should also check mining company websites for new entry-level positions.

Tip 2: Be realistic

While you may be keen to apply for every position that’s available, it’s important to narrow it down to the positions that match your skill level. Many mining positions require experienced operators, and companies will only hire people with the relevant expertise.

Tip 3: Check mine site requirements

There are several requirements for mining employment, however these will vary slightly with each State. Generally, all applicants must:

pass a drug and alcohol test,
undergo a pre-employment medical to prove physical fitness, and
participate in either general or site-specific mining industry inductions.

What to expect when starting FIFO work

FIFO work can be an extremely rewarding opportunity, but it isn’t for everyone. If you’re thinking of getting a job in the mines, it’s important to know what to expect before you make any final decisions.

Tip 1: You’ll be working long hours

With FIFO jobs, you’ll typically be working 12+ hours a day, and rosters can vary from three weeks on and one week off, to nine days on and six days off. Mining jobs in particular require people with a great work ethic and strong physical endurance.

Tip 2: Living conditions

By taking a FIFO position, you should expect to share accommodation. Your room will be yours when you’re rostered and then one of your colleagues will occupy it when you’re off.

Many companies have begun investing more money into employee accommodation, and good mining camps include communal amenities such as gyms and swimming pools. Internet connection, food and laundry may also be provided.

Making the best of the FIFO lifestyle

In most cases, FIFO work means being away from your loved ones for extended periods of time. The lifestyle can become isolating and slow at times, so it’s important to make the most of the experience.

Tip 1: Establish a routine

Being a shift worker, your hours and rosters will vary, so it will be easy for you to become tired. To preserve your body’s sleep cycle, you should develop a routine and stick to it, even on the days you’re not working.

While it may be tempting to sleep in on your days off, try not to do so for more than two hours. Disrupting your sleep pattern can wreak havoc on both your health and your job performance.

Tip 2: Don’t isolate yourself

Even though you’re in a remote area, you’re still surrounded by a community of workers that are sharing the same lifestyle. When you’re not FaceTiming or texting with your family back home, try to create friendships with your workmates and get together for social activities after work.

What makes a good mining camp?

The best mining camps invest in upgraded FIFO accommodation. After all, their workers are often working 12-hour days for weeks on end, so a comfortable and hospitable mining camp is crucial.

Most workers will agree that great rooms with comfy beds are the most important feature of any FIFO accommodation, given the physical toll that most mining-related jobs take on your body.

FIFO jobs have their stresses, just like any other job, so it’s also crucial that mining camps also provide plenty of rest and relaxation opportunities. The best mining camps have gyms, sporting facilities such as swimming pools and tennis courts, multiple dining venues, TVs and air-conditioning units.

How we can help

If you’re a FIFO worker and you need somewhere to stay in Karratha, look no further than Searipple Village. We have everything you need in one convenient location, including:

great rooms,
three onsite dining options,
a licensed social hub,
two gyms, and

What to Bring to Searipple Village

March 23, 2021

If you’re going to a FIFO camp, it’s important to bring everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. Even though you might be flying out regularly, there’s nothing worse than being stuck without things you need for any length of time.

Here’s a list of things you need to make sure you pack.

Smart Phone
You can download the Glyde App to navigate you to your room and access your room without going to reception.
Credit or Debit card
To use at the Searipple Tavern or shop.
Drink bottle
It’s hot.
Hat and Sunscreen
It’s sunny.
Sports/gym clothes
Stay fit while you’re on swing.
Steel-capped boots
Ideally wear them in before you arrive, as it can be a very long day if they hurt your feet.
Comfortable and durable socks
These are almost as important as comfortable steel-capped boots.
Tinea cream
Unfortunately, you might develop this problem wearing your steel-capped boots. Your feet can get pretty sweaty. Tinea cream will help you to nip any problems in the bud.
Any medications you might need
This could include general medications like Panadol as well as any prescription medications you might be taking.
Toiletries
Shaving cream, soap, your razor, deodorant, aftershave lotion, face wash, moisturiser, toothbrush etc.
Comfortable after-work clothes
Make sure you take account of the likely weather conditions you’ll encounter. A few pairs of thongs are a must!
A laptop or tablet
Most FIFO sites have wireless internet access, so you can video chat with friends or family or stream a TV show or movie.
Important personal information
For example, emergency contacts, your tax file number, bank account details, super fund info, your licence, Medicare card, copies of certificates or qualifications you have, etc.
Prescription safety glasses (if you wear them).
Your employer will pay for these if you wear glasses, so organise this before you go and make sure you take them with you.
Sense of humour
It’s tough being away from family.

How to Improve Your Mental Health at Work

July 7, 2020

If you’re wondering how to improve your mental health at work, you’re certainly not alone.
Here are three simple ways you can do it.

Don’t take on too much work

One sure-fire way to get burned out and stressed is to take on too much work. Don’t set unrealistic goals for yourself, and don’t let others do it either.
If your boss is giving you too much work, set aside a time to talk calmly with them about it, clearly outlining why it’s too much. Don’t suffer in silence. If you do, your mental health will inevitably suffer too.

Take regular breaks

Taking regular short-term breaks from work is important. This includes making sure that you take a lunch break each day, as well as a morning or afternoon coffee break. If you’re working night shifts, taking regular short breaks is just as important. Breaks helps to improve your concentration levels so that you can maintain (or even increase) your productivity.
It’s also important to take holidays at least once a year so that you can freshen up. Working long hours and working without breaks can negatively affect your mental health.

Make sure you’re getting enough sleep at home

Don’t turn up for work tired. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep so that you’re ready to face your job each day or night. Sleep and mental health are closely linked. Poor sleeping patterns can affect your mental health and vice versa.
The importance of work/life balance
It’s also important to look after your mental health outside of work. Ways that you can do this include making sure that you set regular time aside for:

exercise (a healthy body can lead to a healthy mind), and
catching up with friends, family, or both. It’s important to stay connected, especially after the strict coronavirus restrictions we were all recently forced to experience.

Do mental health apps work?

There’s a huge range of mental health apps available these days, but many aren’t based on any scientific evidence. You should avoid those ones because they’ll be unlikely to give you the boost you need. You’ll also probably be wasting your money if you get them.
A recent Harvard study showed that some scientifically-based apps can be effective however in boosting your mental health. Those apps include:

Moodfit,
Sanvello,
Headspace,
and Happify.

However, it’s important to understand that if you’re experiencing serious mental health issues, even an evidence-based app is unlikely to be enough to help you. You should speak to a doctor about it, who will probably refer you to a specialist mental health practitioner to get the help you need.

How we can help

At Searipple Village in Karratha, we can help you to maintain your mental health after a hard day or night’s work. We have great accommodation, two fully equipped gyms, two pools and a licensed social hub where you can relax and unwind. We’re also just a short stroll from the beach next door!

How to Stay Fit After 40

April 24, 2020

Staying fit after you turn 40 is important. Research has shown that maintaining or increasing your fitness level later in life helps to reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular disease and cancer.

How many times a week should I exercise?

If you haven’t exercised for a while (or ever), it’s best to easy your way into it so that your muscles and joints get used to it. Exercise in short bursts and gradually increase both the length and intensity of your sessions. Make sure you stretch before you start to avoid injury.
You should try and exercise up to 5 times a week and aim to be getting at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous-level activity. This could include doing alternate activities on different days, such as:

gym workouts, and
running or fast-paced walking.

The gym sessions will help you to strengthen your major muscle groups. For variety, alternate your sessions between strength sessions and doing high repetitions of light weights or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions.
Aim to do at least 100 steps per minute for 30 minutes when you’re running or doing fast-paced walking. This will help to get your heart rate up and boost your overall fitness level.
In addition to the physical benefits, exercise can boost your mental health as well. For example, by:

reducing your stress levels, and
improving the quality of your sleep.

How to keep motivated to exercise

Staying motivated to keep your exercise program going is just as important as starting it. One of the best ways to stay motivated is to set yourself realistic goals for improvement and to reward yourself when you achieve a goal.
For example, realistic exercise goals could be:

increasing the number of reps you can do of specific gym exercises,
increasing the distance or speed that you run or walk, or
losing a specific amount of weight.

Other great ways to stay motivated to exercise are to:

do physical activities that you enjoy, and
to train with a friend. Your friend will provide you with company and you can also help to keep each other accountable for your exercise program.

Don’t forget your diet

If you want to stay or get healthy, it’s important to eat healthy as well as to exercise. Don’t undo all your good exercise work by eating poorly. Of course, you can always reward yourself with a ‘cheat meal’ every week if you hit your exercise goal.
Eat in moderation, and try to eat something from each of the five basic food groups each day:

vegetables,
fruit
grains and cereals,
lean meat, poultry, fish and eggs,
cheese and yoghurt

If you do, you’ll be eating a balanced diet to complement your exercise routine. And of course, it’s also important to drink alcohol in moderation as well. Current government health guidelines recommend you drinking no more than 4 standard drinks per day and no more than 10 per week.

How we can help

At Searipple Village in Karratha, we can help you to stay fit and healthy while you’re staying with us. We don’t just have great accommodation. We also have an on-site gym and plenty of healthy food options in our dining facilities.
