Winner: Indigenous your achiever

Tyrone is a proud family man and community role model who grew up in Nepabunna Community in South Australia.

On completing a Jobs 4 Local program with Career Co in 2021, he gained full time employment in the resources sector working for Agile Mining Services. He has secured a FIFO role and operates a CAT 777 dump truck at Peculiar Knob mine site.  The role relies on Tyrone completing tasks safely and competently each time to maximise output and efficient loading with zero harm.

He is committed to making valuable contributions beyond his role and offers mentoring and help to new Aboriginal employees on site. With family and cultural challenges of working away, his mentoring and availability to new workers helps to support their transition into employment and to understand more about the mining sector and transition into FIFO work.

Overall his position has brought him new friendships, a team he sees as a second family, a rewarding career with further training opportunities, and a positive role model for his happy family in Port Augusta
