Every village function under one contract
A village runs around the roster. We bring the core village functions together under one contract and one set of systems, so the client deals with one accountable contractor instead of several.
Catering and mess
Breakfast, dinner and crib for day and night shift, menu planning, dietary management and food safety systems. See mining camp catering.
Housekeeping and cleaning
Rooms serviced to the swing pattern, linen and laundry, wet messes, gyms, offices and ablutions. See mining camp cleaning and remote camp housekeeping.
Maintenance
Planned and reactive maintenance of rooms, kitchens, plant and services, logged against each asset. See mining camp maintenance.
Village management
Room allocation, arrivals and departures, waste and water, with compliance and reporting across the village. See mining camp management.
Remote camp services, function by function
One integrated contract, or a single function
Village services are bought either as one integrated contract or as separate functions. The right answer depends on how much capacity the site has to coordinate several contractors at once.
The case for a single operator is accountability. When housekeeping, maintenance and catering sit with three companies, a room that will not cool at two in the morning becomes a question of whose fault it is. One operator removes that gap, and removes the duplicated management overhead each separate contractor prices in. We can take the full scope or a single function such as catering or housekeeping.

How camp contracts are structured in WA
Most Western Australian camp agreements combine a fixed monthly management and labour component with a variable per person per day rate for catering and housekeeping, with a mobilisation charge at the front.
Committed occupancy
The management team, kitchen crew and plant operators are largely fixed, so the occupancy in the price matters more than any other number.
Bands around it
Agreed bands above and below the committed figure keep the service and the price fair when the roster changes.
Matched notice periods
Notice periods that are the same for both parties keep the contract workable through a change in program.
Taking over from an incumbent while the village stays full
A change of camp contractor happens while the village is full and the operation continues. A managed transition deals with the workforce first, because many people on site will transfer and need certainty about their terms before handover. Then the asset condition record, the open maintenance backlog, stock on hand, and supplier and freight arrangements.
The most common failure is an asset condition record nobody agreed. We establish it jointly before handover, which protects both sides. Exploration programs and short term camps get the same food safety and safety discipline at a smaller scale, and we can mobilise at short notice.
Camp performance the client can see live
SiteIQ is the facilities management platform developed by Cameron, with a camp management module built for remote villages. Room status, work orders, inspections, staff GPS clock in and compliance records sit in one place, and the client sees them in a portal rather than in a month old report. You can explore the SiteIQ demonstration camp before you talk to us.
Wellbeing for the whole workforce
Our Community Wellness Program and Wellness and Mental Health Program bring qualified practitioners into the village, from tai chi and kung fu with Ging Mo Academy to mental health awareness, and are designed to support the family at home as well as the worker on site. Read why wellness programs matter in mining camps.
Certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 for the provision of integrated facility management services, including cleaning, maintenance and building administration; village accommodation and mining camp management; asset register and building compliance management; and project delivery services.
