School Contract Cleaning

In this section you can find links to information for schools, school cleaners and cleaning contractors interested in tendering for work in Victorian Government schools.

On 1 July 2005, a Contract Cleaners Panel was established by the Department of Education (DoE). The Panel is composed of approved cleaning contractors with the technical expertise, business skills and management knowledge to provide cleaning services to Victorian Government Schools.

The Panel is administered by the DoE's Contract Cleaners Assessment Committee (“CCAC”). To achieve Panel status, contract cleaners must meet the necessary key assessment criteria.

All Victorian Government Schools must engage the services of a cleaning contractor that has obtained Panel Status. 

New cleaning companies are welcome to apply for the Panel status at any time simply by completing the required application.
