A researcher who released a study into the mental health of Fly In Fly Out workers has revealed there has been significant negative backlash on the report.
On social media many people attacked the report saying that FIFO workers know what they signed up for and the financial gain is worth the sacrifice.
The report detailed how many FIFO workers feel they should toughen up regarding their mental health and do not have the right to speak out because of their high income.
Dr Amanda Rebar, a co-author of the report from Central Queensland University says these comments are discouraging because there is such a disconnect between money and your mental health and that it is brave for the workers to seek help.
