Are you Cm3 prequalified?

Yes — current. Your government procurement team can verify our profile directly in the Cm3 portal.

Do you hold a Queensland Labour Hire Licence?

Yes. LHL-01505-Y7Y8S. Verifiable on the QLD Government register. Required by law for providing labour to a third party (which is what commercial cleaning is, in legal terms) in Queensland.

Can you handle defence-adjacent cleaning contracts?

Yes — with appropriate clearance frameworks per the contract. AGSVA security clearances managed where required. Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) awareness for supplier-network adjacent work. Specific clearance levels handled per contract structure.

Are your cleaners background-checked for government work?

Yes. Every QCC cleaner is background-checked. Government-assigned cleaners may carry additional vetting — WWC checks (state-by-state) for education-related work, WWVP checks for aged care, AGSVA-grade clearances where required.

Do you align to Indigenous procurement requirements?

We engage with Indigenous procurement frameworks through Supply Nation assessment and partnership pathways with certified Supply Nation businesses where the tender requires Indigenous-business participation. Specific tender requirements are addressed in tender-response framework on a per-tender basis.

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

Are your prices competitive for government tenders?

Government tenders are evaluated on a value framework — compliance, quality, performance, transparency — not just price. QCC's transparent line-item quoting matches the documentation expectations of government procurement. We don't price-for-the-tender then renegotiate scope mid-contract.

Do you publish performance reports?

Yes — Boomerang produces real-time and historical performance reports, exportable on demand. Standard government contract performance review cycles supported.

Are you bound by the Clean Start union agreement?

Yes. QCC's workforce is paid Clean Start collective agreement rates. Increasingly part of government tender criteria as workforce fairness becomes a procurement factor.

Do you cover council depots and civil works?

Yes. Council yards, workshop facilities, civil works depots. Working at Heights certified, hydro cleaning, ride-on scrubbers, ISO 45001 H&S.

Government industry · Cm3 + LHL · 18+ years

Government and council building cleaning — procurement-ready since 2007.

Government cleaning operates under a procurement frame that's different from any other industry. Cm3 prequalification is typically a precondition. Labour Hire Licensing is verified before signature. Workforce vetting can include ASIO clearance. Indigenous procurement targets shape supplier selection. The cleaning provider that wins and keeps government contracts has built the operational discipline to live inside that frame.
