How does CLEANEY ensure compliance with the Aged Care Quality Standards?

CLEANEY follows the Aged Care Quality Standards and aligns cleaning practices with Department of Health guidance and Australian infection prevention principles. We document procedures, staff training and audits to demonstrate ongoing compliance and readiness for regulatory assessment.

What infection-prevention measures do you use for immunocompromised residents?

We use evidence-based cleaning agents, single-use or dedicated equipment for high-risk areas, and enhanced contact-hour cleaning schedules to reduce transmission risk. Practices follow Australian Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Infection in Healthcare and are tailored for each facility’s clinical needs.

What is included in an aged care cleaning visit and how are tasks prioritised?

Visits include high-touch surface disinfection, bathroom and kitchen sanitation, floor care, waste management and laundry handling where required. Tasks are prioritised by infection risk, resident vulnerability and the facility’s care plan to maintain a safe living environment.

How is pricing determined and can services be customised to budget or needs?

Pricing is based on facility size, resident numbers, cleaning frequency and infection-control requirements. CLEANEY offers customised packages and quotes after a site assessment to align service levels with budget and regulatory obligations.

How often should aged care facilities schedule professional cleaning?

Frequency depends on resident acuity and facility risk profile; high-dependency or outbreak-prone areas may need daily cleaning, while general areas often require at least daily or multiple weekly visits. CLEANEY recommends a risk-based schedule aligned with Aged Care Quality Standards and infection-control advice.

How can facilities verify CLEANEY’s cleaning quality and performance?

We provide checklists, cleaning logs, audit reports and swab/ATP testing on request to demonstrate effectiveness. Facilities can review training records and routine audit outcomes as part of governance and compliance with Australian aged care regulations.

Aged Care Cleaning Melbourne

Professional Aged Care Cleaning Services in Melbourne

CLEANEY delivers specialist aged care cleaning across Melbourne for residential aged care facilities, retirement villages, memory care units, and community care hubs. Our cleaning programs are structured around the Aged Care Quality Standards and the oversight expectations of the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission — meaning every service visit produces documentation, not just a clean floor. We deploy dedicated, police-checked cleaning teams trained in infection prevention and control specific to high-risk residential environments, including hand hygiene compliance zones, colour-coded microfibre systems, and TGA-listed disinfectants. Unlike generalist commercial cleaners who apply a one-size schedule, CLEANEY builds each scope of work from an initial site audit, mapping high-touch surface frequencies, resident traffic flows, and your existing clinical protocols. Fixed, transparent pricing applies from day one. No lock-in contracts. The same trained team attends every visit so your staff and residents experience consistency — not a new face each fortnight.

Aged care cleaning in Australia is not merely a facilities management function — it directly intersects with regulatory obligations enforced by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission under the Aged Care Quality Standards.

Aged care cleaning FAQs

Common questions

How does CLEANEY's aged care cleaning align with the Aged Care Quality Standards?

CLEANEY's cleaning programs produce the documented evidence — signed cleaning logs, product records, and QC inspection reports — that facilities need to demonstrate compliance with Standard 3 (Personal and Clinical Care) and Standard 8 (Organisational Governance) under the Aged Care Quality Standards. We structure our scope of work and reporting around what the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission expects to see during accreditation and unannounced site visits, not just what produces a visually clean result.

Can CLEANEY respond to an infectious outbreak at short notice?

Yes. CLEANEY maintains outbreak response capacity across our Melbourne service areas. If your facility identifies a confirmed or suspected outbreak — gastroenteritis, influenza, COVID-19, or other communicable disease — contact your CLEANEY operations manager directly. We can deploy an escalated cleaning response within hours, using sporicidal disinfectants, full PPE, and enhanced documentation protocols. Outbreak cleaning records are formatted for submission to public health authorities or the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission if required.

Do CLEANEY staff hold police clearances before working in aged care facilities?

Yes. Every CLEANEY team member deployed to an aged care environment holds a current National Police Check prior to commencing work at any facility. Clearance records are held by CLEANEY and available for inspection by Facility Managers upon request. This applies to all permanent team members and any replacement staff deployed during absences. Identity verification is completed as part of the pre-employment process, not only at induction.

What cleaning products does CLEANEY use in aged care environments?

CLEANEY uses TGA-listed disinfectants with documented efficacy against the pathogens relevant to aged care settings, including C. difficile spores, MRSA, VRE, and respiratory viruses. Products are selected to balance infection control performance with resident safety — avoiding strong respiratory irritants in occupied areas where possible. Safety data sheets for all products used at your facility are held on-site and provided to your infection control lead. Product substitutions are not made without prior approval from your facility contact.

Will CLEANEY work around our residents' care routines and meal times?

Scheduling around resident and clinical routines is built into every CLEANEY aged care program from the outset. During the initial site audit, your care team's daily schedule — morning care, meal service windows, allied health appointments, and activity programs — is mapped and used to determine the optimal cleaning windows for each zone. Early morning, evening, and weekend cleaning shifts are available across all Melbourne service areas without surcharge in standard contracts.

Can CLEANEY service multiple aged care sites under one agreement?

Yes. CLEANEY is structured to manage multi-site aged care portfolios under a single master agreement. Organisations operating residential care campuses, retirement villages, and community care hubs across different Melbourne suburbs can access consolidated invoicing, a single senior operations contact, and standardised cleaning specifications applied consistently across all locations. Multi-site agreements are available with unified compliance reporting, which simplifies governance and accreditation preparation across your portfolio.

How long does it take to get started with CLEANEY aged care cleaning?

Following your initial enquiry, CLEANEY schedules a site audit within 48 hours and delivers a written scope-of-work proposal within 48 hours of that audit. Once a scope is agreed and contracts are signed, the team induction and first service visit can typically be scheduled within five to seven business days. For facilities with urgent requirements — transition from a previous provider or an immediate compliance issue — we can expedite this timeline. Contact our operations team directly to discuss your start date.
