HR Software for Mining Companies

Sentrient's HR software for mining companies is an all-in-one platform for recruitment, onboarding, training, compliance records, incident reporting, performance and people management. It helps mining HR teams see who is ready for site, send reminders before licences and tickets expire, and keep workforce records audit-ready across every mine site, camp and office.

Yes. Sentrient is built for businesses in Australia and New Zealand and comes preloaded with Australian courses, policies, forms and documents. Our team supports you through setup. Mining WHS laws vary by state and territory, so your business remains responsible for confirming which requirements apply to each site.

Mining companies typically use HR software to manage onboarding, inductions, licences, training, incidents and employee records, often alongside separate payroll, rostering and mine operations systems. Mining HR software gives HR and safety teams one place to track workforce readiness, while specialist tools handle pay, FIFO rosters and production. The equipment side of a mine site, with crew-issued devices, PPE and vehicles, sits on our mine site equipment register software page.

No. Sentrient does not build FIFO rosters, run payroll, or interpret the Mining Industry Award or enterprise agreements. It also does not offer GPS clock-in or fatigue management. Sentrient is the HR and compliance layer that sits beside those tools, and it connects with platforms such as Xero, MYOB and KeyPay.

Yes. You can store licences, tickets, high-risk work licences, medicals, inductions and qualifications as compliance records against each worker. Each record holds its expiry date and supporting document, and ready-made reports show which workers hold current records for their role.

Set an expiry date on each record and Sentrient sends automated reminders before it expires, with escalation if the record lapses. HR and supervisors can see upcoming expiries in reports and act before a worker goes to site without a current ticket. Your business remains responsible for checking a worker is authorised before they start a task.

Work health and safety in mining is regulated by each state and territory. Examples include the Work Health and Safety (Mines) Regulations 2022 in Western Australia and the Coal Mining Safety and Health Act 1999 in Queensland. Sentrient helps you keep training and records audit-ready, but it does not interpret these laws. Seek advice on which laws apply to your sites.

Under WHS laws, a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) has a primary duty of care for the health and safety of workers and others affected by the work. Sentrient helps you evidence training, policy acknowledgement, incident reporting and inspections. Your business remains responsible for meeting its duties and for its safety management system.

Sentrient includes ready-made online courses such as Work Health and Safety, Drug and Alcohol Awareness, Manual Handling, Mental Health and Wellbeing, Driver Safety, Workplace Bullying, Sexual Harassment and Cultural Awareness. You can also build your own site induction with the course builder. These courses do not replace statutory mining competencies or site-specific training.

Yes. Automation rules assign training when workers need it, including when they join, change role or are due for a refresher. Completion records sit against each worker for audits. Check your state mining WHS laws and your safety management system to confirm the training and frequency each role needs.

You can keep personal and emergency details, contracts, tax and superannuation details, medical information, education, work history, licences, tickets, inductions and training records in one place. Workers can update their own details through self-service, and documents are stored securely against each employee.

Sentrient keeps training completions, licence records, policy acknowledgements, incidents and inspections in one system with ready-made audit and compliance reports. You can pull evidence for an inspector, principal contractor or internal audit without searching spreadsheets. The reports support your audit but do not replace your safety management system.

Yes. Workers can report hazards, incidents, complaints and improvements online from any device, and each report is stored in one place for follow-up. Sentrient does not lodge notifications with a mining regulator, so your business remains responsible for notifying the regulator when the law requires it.

Onboarding moves faster because new starters complete forms, sign contracts, read policies and finish induction training online before they mobilise. HR can see outstanding items and chase them before the flight date rather than on site. Timing depends on your own onboarding steps and site requirements.

Yes. You can add contractors, labour hire workers and casuals, assign inductions and policies, and track their licences and tickets alongside employees. This gives you one view of who is ready for site. Your business and the labour hire provider remain responsible for their own duties to those workers.

Yes. You can match training, policies and record requirements to each site, team and role. Head office sees records for every location in one place, and site managers can focus on their own crews. This suits companies running several mines, processing plants, camps and offices.

HR software helps by giving new starters a smooth onboarding experience, clear goals, regular feedback and visible development paths. Sentrient's community wall keeps remote crews connected with the wider business, and surveys show where people are unhappy before they resign. Better onboarding and development can support retention across long swings.

Yes. Set goals, run performance meetings, give real-time feedback and link development plans to training. Supervisors and leading hands can build leadership, communication and safety skills, and HR keeps a record of each review. This helps you grow future site leaders from within your crews.

Yes. Sentrient is available online around the clock on computers, tablets and smartphones, so workers can complete training, read policies and report hazards from camp or at home between swings. Connectivity varies on remote sites, so plan how workers will access the platform while on site.
