As mining operations around the world are impacted by the significant disruptions caused by COVID-19, the Western Australian mining sector, like the rest of Australia, has been facing restrictions and interruptions in its activities. With that said, Western Australia’s mining sector has a very important part to play in ensuring the State and the rest of Australia recover from the devastating economic impact of COVID-19. In recognition of this balancing act, the Western Australian Government has implemented initiatives aimed at supporting mining businesses whilst maintaining safety and travel measures.
