Generally if you have a trade then you can get a job easily. Just call up any agency that deals with the mines and you will probably get some contract work. Then once you know some people you will move on to a better job with better pay. If you don't have experience or qualifications then you pretty much have to know someone that works there to get in the door. You can be lucky but there is a lot of people heading up north hoping to get onto the big money with no experience so there is an oversupply of these people but an undersupply of tradies.
I work a fly in fly out job at a site near Mt Isa. Week on Week off and it's a great lifestyle. I work in the lab and have tertiary qualifications though most people here only have lab experience. I have just got a new job at my current worksite as a process operator. It's about 95000 a year which is slightly more than the lab.
