D.A.C. Mining Services

What D.A.C. Mining Services does

D.A.C. Mining Services Pty Ltd is an Australian privately-held, family-owned mining services company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Paget, Mackay, Queensland. The company provides skilled maintenance labour, equipment hire, and workshop-based heavy equipment repair services to the Australian mining, quarry, civil, and agricultural sectors. Its workforce of approximately 130 employees includes diesel fitters, auto electricians, high voltage electricians, boilermakers, and S1/S2/S3/G2 qualified supervisors, supported by a fully equipped workshop and a fleet of equipment available for wet or dry hire.

The company monetizes through three integrated revenue streams: skilled labour hire (billable hours on long-term maintenance contracts and short-term shutdowns), equipment hire (wet or dry rentals with mobilisation/demobilisation across Australia), and workshop services (component rebuilds, overhauls, servicing, and insurance repair quotes). Additional revenue is generated from project maintenance management and a newer training services line that supplies qualified trainers and assessors for heavy earthmoving equipment.

Commercially, D.A.C. operates as a sales-led B2B services business with direct client engagement via phone, email, and its website. There is no public pricing, no external investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or partnerships. The company markets a 7-year zero-Lost Time Injury safety record as a core credential in mining contractor prequalification.
