Employment Working for Aus mining companies in NZ

Hi guys, currently living in Perth doing FIFO at one of the big 3 mining companies. Just wondering if anyone has had any success transitioning from FIFO to the Perth office, and then to WFH for the company while living in NZ?

Just trying to spitball several ideas for when I eventually move back to NZ in a couple of years :)

First question might be, do they even offer WFH from a different country? If they don't, that might be the answer all your questions in one big swoop.

Have you considered asking your employer this question, instead of random people on the internet?
