Mining giant Gold Fields gives Australian workers 6 per cent pay rise as skills shortage bites

One of the world’s biggest gold miners has given its Australian workforce a massive 6 per cent pay rise — the latest sign that companies are growing increasingly desperate to keep skilled workers as staff shortages return to levels seen during the last mining boom.
Key points:
-
Production at Gold Fields’ Australian mines increased 11 per cent last year to 1.01 million ounces, up from 914,000 ounces in 2019.
-
The workforce is being rewarded with a 6 per cent site allowance — equivalent to between $300 and $600 extra in their monthly pay packet
-
The company has also decided to increase a finder’s fee bonus for employees who refer a new worker to Gold Fields — from a $3,000 bonus to a $10,000 bonus.
