Local employment
We recruit from the region before we fly a workforce in.


Ngurra means a place of belonging. We run camps for mining, energy, drilling and infrastructure projects across remote Australia — from 300-bed villages to 12-person drill crews.

Management-only or turnkey · Australia-wide · Live POB reporting
Village Operations and Field & Drilling Operations can be engaged management-only, where you hold the camp, or turnkey, where we coordinate it through partners. Remote Meal Packs is supplied direct.
Complete hospitality and accommodation management for established villages. Buffet service, crib lunches, housekeeping, laundry and daily occupancy reporting, run by a permanent on-site team.
Village OperationsShift-aligned service for crews that move. Delivered smokos, à la carte meals, crew washing and camp support, built around the roster rather than the dining room.
Field & Drilling OperationsChef-prepared meals delivered ready to reheat. Full menu quality on sites too small for a kitchen team. No chef, no kitchen build, no permanent crew.

Most operators measure local and Indigenous participation after the crew is built — by which point nothing can change.
We do it first. Before we finalise a roster or a supply chain, we map the region: who lives there, which businesses operate there, and which roles and contracts they could hold. That map shapes the operating plan.
We named the company after the standard. Ngurra means a place of belonging.
We recruit from the region before we fly a workforce in.
We build roles and training pathways for Indigenous candidates into the crew, not alongside it.
We test regional businesses before defaulting to national suppliers.
We open procurement categories to Indigenous businesses and report which ones.
Outcomes vary by region. We report them honestly either way.
How participation works
Crews work twelve-hour shifts in heat and dust. We build dining, rooms and service so coming back is the good part. Rested, well-fed crews turn up.
Structured rosters, defined standards, a named site manager. No surprises at handover.
Scoped during mobilisation, alongside the roster and the supply chain.
People on board, rooms, meals, dietary requirements, inductions and kitchen waste — on a dashboard, not a monthly spreadsheet.
Fresh produce, considered plating and consistent standards. Menus run on a costed rotation, adjusted from what actually gets eaten.






Our people have run camp and hospitality operations on projects for these organisations.












We mobilise to projects across mainland Australia, with active focus on the Surat Basin, Bowen Basin, Galilee Basin, Cooper Basin and Beetaloo Basin.
Regions shown are mobilisation capability, not permanent offices or kitchens.
