Western Australia and Queensland are the two mining states in Australia and they both have different requirements for people entering the industry.

Most Western Australian Mines Require:

2. Senior First Aid Certificate from either St Johns or the Red Cross organisation. If you have a basic first aid certificate don't worry 9 times out of ten they will still accept you and later they may arrange with you to update it.

3. HR Drivers licence mining required is a Manual Car licence.
