Turn up compliant, crewed and on time, every swing
Mining services work is won by the contractor the site can rely on. Here's what Humanz gives your operation that the spreadsheet never could.
Cleared before the gate asks
Inductions, medicals, tickets and verifications of competency are checked the moment a booking is made, and expiries surface weeks ahead. Your operators arrive with paperwork the gate can't argue with.
Swings that roll themselves forward
Build the 8/6 or 2/1 once and Humanz keeps panels offset, travel days attached and changeovers visible from a week out to three months. When reality moves mid-swing, the pattern flexes and every downstream date moves with it.
A shutdown crew raised in hours
When headcount doubles overnight, you book employees, labour hire and subbies from one pool, push shifts to their phones and watch confirmations land live. The crew exists before a ring-around would have reached its third call.
Swing rosters and panels, handled natively
Build 2/1, 8/6, even-time or custom patterns once and roll them forward. Panels stay offset so sites never go quiet, travel days belong to the shift, and the scheduler shows every site and crew in one view from a week to three months out.
- FIFO and DIDO swing patterns as templates
- Offset panels and rotation handled automatically
- Travel days attached to the swing
- Every site and crew in a single live view

Credential and fatigue gates on every booking
Site inductions, medicals, high risk work licences and verifications of competency live on each worker's profile with expiry dates. Bookings check them automatically, alongside layered fatigue policies that apply your client's site rules on top of your own.
- Inductions, medicals, tickets and VOCs tracked with expiries
- Non-compliant bookings stopped before they're confirmed
- Business, client and site fatigue policies layered
- Every override recorded for the audit trail

Mobilisation beyond the roster
Flights, camp rooms, vehicles and plant are scheduled beside the people who need them, from templates and bulk uploads. When the swing changes, the logistics move with it instead of living in a separate spreadsheet that someone reconciles after the fact.
- Flights and accommodation attached to the swing
- Vehicles and plant allocated per job
- Templates and bulk uploads for changeovers
- Mobilisation requirements checked before wheels-up

Timesheets the pay run can trust
Timesheets prefill from the roster, get submitted from the phone at site, and reach a supervisor for approval the same day. Approved hours flow to payroll, including through the two-way Xero integration, with planned-versus-worked visible per job and client.
- Prefilled from the roster, submitted on mobile
- Supervisor approval with a full audit trail
- Approved hours to payroll without re-keying
- Planned versus worked per job, site and client

Built for the compliance reality of Australian mining
Mining services businesses answer to WHS regulators, principal contractors and client site standards at once. Humanz keeps the evidence a by-product of running the roster.
Site standards, per client and per site
Each client's induction, medical and competency requirements are configured against their sites, so a worker compliant at one operation isn't assumed compliant 40km up the road.
Fatigue rules that read the roster
Hour limits, break minimums and consecutive-shift caps are checked as shifts are placed, across every site a worker touches, not one roster at a time.
Records when the auditor asks
Who worked, who approved, what the checks found and when: stored against every shift and retrievable in minutes, not reconstructed from texts.

Getting started is simple
We support each step and move at your pace, see our approach for the full rollout picture.
Configure your operation
Clients, sites, swing patterns, credential requirements and fatigue rules are set up with you, the way you already run them. Spreadsheets are a fine starting point.
Mobilise your crews
Workers and subbies onboard from their phones, credentials upload once, and the first swings roll out with flights and rooms attached.
Run gate to gate
Shifts publish to phones, confirmations track, timesheets prefill and payroll receives approved hours. The office sees every site live.
Works with what you already run
Mining services businesses already run systems that work. Humanz connects to them rather than replacing them.
Xero
Approved site hours reach Xero through a two-way API, so the pay run starts from the roster's record of who actually worked the swing.
How the Xero connection works →Microsoft single sign-on
Crews and coordinators sign in with the Microsoft accounts IT already controls, on web and mobile. Access ends when the account does.
What your IT manager will ask →Your payroll system
Not on Xero? Humanz still hands over accurate, approved time data with the compliance checks already done.
The payroll handover in detail →Frequently asked questions
Does Humanz handle FIFO swing rosters natively?
Yes. Swing patterns like 2/1, 8/6 and even time are built as templates and rolled forward, with panels offset automatically and travel days attached to the swing. The scheduler shows every site and crew in one view, from a week to three months out.
Can Humanz stop a worker being rostered with an expired site induction or VOC?
Yes. Credentials, inductions, medicals and verifications of competency are tracked per worker with expiry dates, and bookings are checked against the requirements of the specific client and site. A booking that would breach them is flagged before it is confirmed, and expiry alerts fire weeks ahead.
Does it manage flights and camp accommodation as well as rosters?
Yes. Flights, rooms, vehicles and plant are scheduled beside the people who need them, using templates and bulk uploads for changeovers. When a swing changes, the attached logistics move with it.
Can subcontractors and labour hire be rostered with our own employees?
Yes. Employees, labour hire and subcontractors sit in the same roster, each carrying their own compliance profile. Shutdown crews can be assembled from the whole pool, with shifts pushed to phones and confirmations tracked.
How long does a rollout take for a mining services business?
An indicative rollout runs about 11 weeks, phased so each step lands when the team is ready. Most businesses go live with the scheduler and mobile app first, then bring in timesheets, forms, fatigue and mobilisation. Humanz does the configuration and data setup with you.

Who it's for, and who it isn't
Humanz is built for the contractors who service mining, not for every business near a mine.
Built for
- Mining services and maintenance contractors running FIFO or DIDO crews
- Shutdown and turnaround crews mobilising at short notice
- Drilling, civil and mechanical contractors on mining sites
- Blended workforces of employees, labour hire and subbies
Honestly, not for
- Mine owners standardising a global enterprise on one HCM suite
- Single-site salaried teams with no rostering to speak of
- Retail or hospitality crews, a venue-first tool will fit better
