If you don't live near a mine site that's hiring people for catering roles, you might like to consider a FIFO )fly in/fly out) position, which lets you fly to the mine site at the start of your weeks on, and fly home at the end. Many people are employed in FIFO roles as it means they don't have to relocate on a permanent basis.
