Established in 2013, Voice for Mining is a growing community of people who work in mining, recognise the contribution of mining families and the businesses that support mining.
Stay in the know about COVID-19
COVID-19 is a rapidly moving global health pandemic that is changing the way that we live and work and the way that we connect with one another.
Voice for Mining is a vital network for people that might work in mining, be part of a mining family or live in a mining community and support local miners.
There are thousands of highly-valued people across regional NSW that continue to work in mine sites and support businesses to deliver essential services as we fight COVID-19.
Our industry’s top priority is the health and safety of our mining workforce, their families and communities, while we continue to make an important contribution to local communities and our economy.
We want you to use Voice for Mining as another way to keep connected and informed.
Sign up now for the latest news about COVID-19 and what it means for mine workers and their families across NSW.
You can follow us on the socials too - on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn.
Support Mining. Make your voice heard.
There are thousands of people across NSW who work in mining and depend on a strong mining industry for their livelihoods.
Our mines pay $2 billion a year in royalties to the NSW Government which helps fund nurses in hospitals, teachers in schools and police on our streets. And in many places across NSW, our mining families are the lifeblood of regional communities, working alongside farmers, teachers, tradies, people in manufacturing, services and other industries.
There are many reasons to support mining and ensure that community leaders and decision-makers understand that there is strong support for mining and mining jobs in NSW.
So join us and ensure that your voice is heard too.
Voice for Mining Family Day
Join Voice for Mining to find out about how together we demonstrate the strong support for our mining families and our industry, like at Voice for Mining Family Day each year at Newcastle’s McDonald Jones Stadium when the Newcastle Knights play in a replica hi-vis mining jersey to help celebrate the good things mining brings.
The annual event draws more than 20,000 people.
The team wears the special replica hi-vis mining jersey twice each year in a visual representation of the connection between the club, rugby league fans and our mining communities. There are so many current and former players that have worked at our mines including Bill Peden, Steve Simpson, Nathan Ross and Josh King.
