Hire, buy or stay with Ausco.
Ausco Modular designs, builds and manages mobile accommodation camps for mining and resources projects across Australia. You can hire mining camp accommodation for short-term or project work, buy it outright for long-life sites, or have us run a fully managed camp, so the model fits the project rather than the other way around. Our solutions range from compact fly-camps to full permanent villages, giving you the accommodation and on-site facilities to deliver a remote project on time and within budget.
Because the buildings are transportable and modular, your camp adapts as the project changes. You can add or remove buildings, scale rooms up or down, and relocate the whole camp when work moves to the next site, so your mine site accommodation keeps pace at every stage.
With a national footprint across the mining and energy sector, we partner with major operators and smaller organisations alike. Our experienced teams work across multiple states, many in very remote locations. That reach lets us support mining camps Australia-wide, across numerous industries such as defence, construction, iron ore and steel, minerals, rail, gold, and gas and electricity.
Why choose Ausco Modular for mobile accommodation camps
Our ‘plug-and-play’ mobile accommodation camps are built to arrive, occupy, and move on to the next location. When a project is time-sensitive and you need a fast set-up, a quality turnkey camp that minimises installation time is the most efficient way to get your workforce on site and settled.
Each camp is designed to accommodate 30 to 300 people and manufactured to withstand frequent, rugged relocations and fluctuating headcounts. Our mining camp accommodation suits both temporary and permanent projects, delivering flexibility, comfort, rapid mobilisation and lower operating costs across the life of the site.
We supply the full range of portable buildings a remote site needs, from single-person ensuite rooms to kitchens, dining, ablutions, laundries, recreation and site offices - each one configured to your headcount and built to the standard your workforce expects.
No destination is too far off the map
With our expertise across the mining and energy sector, we know the biggest projects are often the most remote, and that developing the infrastructure to support them can be challenging. That is why our transportable mining and remote workforce accommodation is designed to go wherever your project does.
Anytime, anywhere
Our ‘plug-and-play’ mining camp solutions are ready to mobilise to any location in Australia, including the remotest parts of the country.
Ausco moves with you
When you need to keep projects moving to the next location, our team will be there to move the camp, ready again for occupying where and when you need it.
We change when you change
Altering your camp hire is easy with Ausco. We work with you to optimise your camp as timeframes or headcounts change, accommodating your requirements quickly and hassle-free.
Home away from home
Ausco Modular also provides managed accommodation for regional and remote workforces, through Stayover by Ausco. Stayover gives you a fully functioning, resort-style camp in exchange for a simple nightly charge, with 24/7 guest liaison and state-of-the-art dining. Its flexibility is unrivalled, giving you the option to choose a single room or up to 200 to match the size of your project.

Frequently Asked Questions:
A mobile mining camp is a transportable village of modular buildings - sleeping quarters, kitchens, dining, ablutions and recreation - that houses a workforce at a remote mine site. Because the buildings are relocatable, the camp can be installed, expanded or moved as a project's needs change.
All three. You can hire modular accommodation for short-term or project-based needs, buy it outright for long-life sites, or have Ausco design, build and operate a fully managed village so your team simply moves in - flexibility that suits everything from small fly-camps to permanent villages.
Because Ausco owns a fleet of workforce accommodation modules held in strategic locations around Australia, mining camps can be delivered far faster than you would thin - often in weeks rather than months. Exact timing depends on the camp size, location and site conditions.
From compact fly-camps for a handful of workers through to villages accommodating several hundred people. Ausco has delivered large-scale resource villages for tier-one miners, and camps can be scaled up in stages as a workforce grows.
Yes. Ausco's remote accommodation is built to meet the relevant workforce-accommodation and building standards, using durable, weather-sealed construction suited to harsh mining environments. Confirm the specific standards and certifications required for your site with the Ausco team.
