Do all your education cleaners have a Working with Children check?

Yes. Every QCC cleaner assigned to an education site holds a current state-appropriate Working with Children check (Blue Card in QLD, WWCC in other states). Currency verified against the issuing authority's register and tracked centrally in Boomerang. WWC check is a precondition for site assignment — no cleaner attends without one.

How often should schools be cleaned?

Most schools need daily cleaning during term — classrooms, bathrooms, canteen, staffroom, common areas. Periodic deep cleans (carpet, hard floor, kitchen) typically run during school holidays. Cadence mapped at onboarding and locked into the 12-month calendar.

Can you handle multi-campus university contracts?

Yes. Multi-campus university contracts run under one Boomerang portal with one account manager. Faculty-by-faculty reporting where required. Standardised KPIs across the network. Site-specific FOMs per campus.

Are you ISO certified for education work?

Yes. Three current ISO certifications: ISO 9001:2015 (Quality), AS/NZS ISO 45001:2018 (H&S), AS/NZS ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental). All externally audited annually by Certifi International. Certificates available on request.

Do you align to the National Quality Framework for childcare?

Yes. NQF Quality Area 3 mapping is part of standard onboarding for every childcare and early-learning contract. The Field Operations Manual reflects the centre's interpretation of Standard 3. Boomerang produces the ACECQA audit-evidence trail.

Can you do holiday-period deep cleans separately from term work?

Yes. Holiday-period programming is typically built into the 12-month contract calendar. Carpet shampoo, hard-floor strip and seal, kitchen deep cleans, full-glazing window cleans, sports-hall maintenance — all scheduled for the holiday windows so they don't disrupt term operations.

Are your education cleaners child-safe-trained?

Yes. Every education-assigned cleaner completes child-safe induction (the school's child-safe policy adopted) before first attendance. Annual refresher training across the workforce. Currency tracked in Boomerang.

What's the difference between school and university cleaning?

Different scale, different schedule, different complexity. Schools run on a clear term-time/holiday rhythm. Universities run multi-campus, multi-faculty, with 24/7 trading during exam periods, plus residential and sports facilities. QCC services both with appropriate operational tiers and crew specialisation.

Do you cover boarding schools and university residences?

Yes. Boarding-house cleaning is a separate scope to academic-building cleaning, with its own protocols. Common areas typically daily; resident rooms typically resident-responsibility per the school's rules.

Do you handle post-event cleaning for school formals, sports days, parents' evenings?

Yes. Post-event recovery is a defined scope — surge crew dispatched after the event ends, recovery clean inside the agreed window. Common applications: school formals, sports carnivals, parent-teacher nights, open days, fete weekends.

Education industry · WWC-vetted · term-cycle ready

School, university and childcare cleaning — safeguarding-framed, term-rhythm aware.

Education cleaning has constraints other commercial sectors don't. Children on site means Working with Children checks for every cleaner. Strict term-time access windows. Major holiday-period catch-up cycles. Multi-campus universities adding faculty governance, 24/7 exam-period trading, residences in parallel with academic buildings. The cleaning regime that works for an education facility manager reflects all of it.

§04 · NQF QA3 + WWC state-by-state + term/holiday programming

The standards we operate against.

Three layered controls — NQF Quality Area 3 for early learning, WWC vetting managed cross-state, and the term-time vs holiday-period calendar mapped during onboarding.

Standard · 01
Official scope
NQF Quality Area 3 · Physical environment
For childcare and early-learning contracts, NQF QA3 is the operating standard. ACECQA assessment-and-rating reviews verify cleaning is happening to standard. QCC maps each contract to the centre's interpretation during onboarding.
How QCC operationalises it
Translated into daily practice:
- 01
  Cleaning schedules per area, per frequency, with sign-off records
- 02
  Toy and resource sanitisation cadence with records
- 03
  Hygiene protocols per zone (food-prep, nappy/change, sleep rooms, toilet-training)
- 04
  Chemical management — TGA listings, SDS, dilution control, storage
- 05
  Outbreak-response procedures · cleaner training and competency records
Standard · 02
Official scope
Working with Children · state by state
Every QCC cleaner assigned to an education site holds a current state-appropriate Working with Children check. For multi-state university and education-network contracts, QCC manages cross-state currency on behalf of the client.
How QCC operationalises it
Translated into daily practice:
- 01
  Queensland — Blue Card (Blue Card Services)

Official scope
Term-time vs holiday-period programming
The education cleaning calendar runs in two modes — term-time after-hours maintenance, and holiday-period deep cycles. QCC maps the 12-month calendar with the school during onboarding. Predictable, documented programme — not "we'll fit it in when we can."
How QCC operationalises it
Translated into daily practice:
- 01
  Term-time — typically 3:30 PM onwards after the last student leaves (OSHC accounted for)
- 02
  Term scope — classrooms, bathrooms, canteen, staffroom, gym, library
- 03
  Holiday windows — Easter, mid-year, September, Christmas-January
- 04
  Holiday work — carpet shampoo, hard-floor strip and seal, kitchen deep cleans, full-glazing windows
- 05
  Multi-campus university contracts run multi-site programming under one portal
