Diversity & Inclusion

We’re proud of our diversified workforce of professional cleaners in Melbourne, with over 80% representing people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. We aim to remove direct and indirect discriminatory practices and barriers to employment and advancement, which is achieved through our policies and procedures, and through our industry partnerships.

Through our procurement practices and partnerships with Social Enterprises and local affiliations, we aim to seek out, connect with, and create training and employment opportunities for disadvantaged jobseekers. This includes refugees and asylum seekers, people from linguistically and culturally diverse backgrounds, retrenched workers, at-risk young people, the long-term unemployed, people living with disability and victims of family violence.

Our Key Areas Of Focus

Indigenous Engagement

Cleaning Melbourne has partnered with and is a supporter of Jasmin Herro and the Teter Mek Foundation. This not-for-profit charity uses its funds to create educational resources for school children and teachers to help them connect with and discover the rich and diverse culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. It’s through this engagement that we seek to strengthen awareness, inclusion and acceptance, not only within our own company, but extending to our customers and to the communities in which we work.
