The mining industry holds some of the highest rates of poor mental health and employee turnover compared to any other industry in Australia. Poor mental health among workers is costing companies millions and is unsustainable, especially as the sector continues to grow. Long term, the industry risks losing some of it’s top talent.

Founder Erin Bell, a highly-skilled mining HR and health and safety professional observed the often convoluted and multiple communications systems operating across mining sites. Noticing a lack of systems integrations leading to breakdowns in communications and increasing sentiments of isolation among frontline workers onsite, Erin set out to change the way sites communicate and interact.

Camp Connect creates the ultimate site experience combining enterprise software and mobile application for remote mining, resources and construction sites. The user-friendly mobile app gives both front-line workers and management access to real-time essential site, accommodation, mental health and wellbeing information, coordination of sports and social events, emergency response, GPS mapping, and travel management to create the ultimate worker experience.

Camp Connect sees people as a company’s greatest resource and asset which is one of the key motives behind Camp Connect software. It has been designed specifically for the mining industry and aimed at boosting site engagement, reducing mental health and isolation issues associated with FIFO, and dramatically improving the overall site experience for all workers.

With a goal of one million users by 2023, Camp Connect’s low-cost solution also eliminates the need for multiple programs and applications, helping to streamline processes for mining companies.

Camp Connect’s vision is to be a site expectation in the mining industry, such like Microsoft applications are in most businesses. They plan to achieve mass uptake through low cost to deploy and by limiting barriers to use while excelling at user experience and functionality.
