How the FIFO parking program works
The Adelaide Airport Parking Program makes travel easier and more affordable for frequent FIFO workers -here’s how it works:
- Employers register and issue cards - Eligible employees receive a parking access card from their employer.
- Simple entry and exit - Cardholders use their access card to enter and exit their nominated Adelaide Airport car park. There’s no need to pay at the gate — charges are applied on exit.
- Monthly activity statements - Adelaide Airport sends the employer a monthly statement showing usage for each card.
- Pre-tax savings - Employers can apply the parking costs as a pre-tax adjustment to payroll. This provides significant cost savings for employees who use the program.

FIFO Parking FAQ’s
The Adelaide Airport FIFO Parking Program provides organisations and their employees with the opportunity to salary sacrifice eligible parking at Adelaide Airport and therefore access significant savings on vehicle parking costs.
Salary sacrifice is an arrangement by an employer and employee where costs incurred by the employee are deducted from an employee’s salary before tax is calculated. This reduces the tax paid by the employee, providing a material cost saving compared to paying for services using income after-tax.
Parking at Adelaide Airport is eligible for savings if the primary place of employment of the parker while the vehicle is at Adelaide Airport is remoted outside of Adelaide (e.g. regional SA / interstate / international).
The program is complimentary for organisations with a minimum spend of $2,000 on the Program in the first year (a one-off administration fee no greater than $2,000 otherwise applies.)
Eligible parking under the program is not subject to FBT.
Yes – employers may be able to reduce their payroll tax and FBT liabilities for parking under the program.
Adelaide Airport online parking rates are not available under the Adelaide Airport FIFO Parking Program as being part of the program means you will receive the lowest available parking rates.

Additionally, contact your organisation’s Human Resources department to let them know of your interest in participating in the program and encourage them to contact Adelaide Airport to discuss joining the Program.
^Savings after-tax are relative to the employee’s marginal tax rate. For example, employees with a $0.37 marginal tax rate may save 37% on parking costs before GST, as well as the GST paid on parking through their salary payment.
