FIFO & rotation packing list: what everyone forgets to pack

Packing for another swing? Start with worker-sourced essentials, then make the list your own. Not a ranking of what workers forget: only a few items were explicitly reported forgotten.

Keep this general. Don’t add ID numbers, passwords or medical details.

Sharing sends the blank public checklist, never your ticks or custom items. Browser data clearing may remove your saved list; other users of this browser may see it.

Questions before you go

What should I pack for a FIFO job?

Start with joining instructions, required ID, approved workwear, personal care, chargers and accommodation essentials.

Is offshore packing different?

It can be. Aircraft, vessel, baggage and electronics rules depend on the actual operator.

Do I need all my own PPE?

Not necessarily. Confirm issued and onsite equipment with your employer.

Can I bring a power bank or my regular medication?

Confirm the current operator rules and, for medication, your prescriber’s advice. Do not stop or change prescribed treatment because of this checklist.

What are the most forgotten items?

No representative ranking is available. A FIFO commenter explicitly reported forgetting a charger and shower footwear.

Where is my checklist saved?

Locally in this browser, not on a checklist server.

Does sharing send my items?

No. Only the generic link is shared.

Can I reuse it?

Yes. Reset ticks without removing your custom items or not-needed choices.
