Commercial Cleaning Contract Template (Australia)

This Commercial Cleaning Contract Template is designed for Australian cleaning businesses providing either recurring or one-off commercial cleaning services. It serves as a general framework and should be customized with specific details before use. Key features include: • Clear appointment terms between the cleaner and client, outlining the independent contractor relationship. • Defined scope of services, including exclusions and assumptions to avoid misunderstandings. • Client responsibilities, ensuring they provide safe access and inform the cleaner of site hazards. • Cleaner responsibilities, emphasizing the need for quality service and compliance with Australian laws. • Pricing, GST, and payment terms, including provisions for late payments and debt recovery. • Procedures for variations, quality standards, and handling of damages.

Before using this template, it is recommended to have it reviewed by a qualified Australian lawyer, especially for high-risk cleaning work or larger clients. This contract is best suited for various commercial environments, including offices, retail spaces, and educational facilities, but not for specialized cleaning tasks such as hazardous waste removal or biohazard remediation.
