What is FIFO Life?

FIFO Life is a lifestyle app for fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) workers in Australia. It is a free app with paid features.

The app lets you create a profile, add friends, and send messages. It provides location-based social networking, so you can connect with other workers nearby. You can enter your work roster to keep track of when you are on site and when you are home.

Paid features include the removal of ads, the ability to compare your roster with friends, and the ability to view your roster across the whole year.

FIFO Life has a shop where you can order FIFO Life-branded clothing.

The app includes features focused on mental health and wellbeing. It lets you set a countdown to your fly-out date, provides wellbeing tips and direct links to mental health services such as Lifeline and Beyond Blue.
