Celebrating NAIDOC Week 2024

23 July 2024

Whilst NAIDOC week 2024 has wrapped up, the journey to keep the đŸ”„ burning must go on. During NAIDOC Week 2024, at ACS we set out, through numerous channels, to better educate ourselves on Indigenous culture, the history of NAIDOC Week and how we can be better Allies for the future.

This year’s theme, “Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud,” honours the enduring strength and vitality of First Nations people, communities, and culture. It’s a powerful reminder to celebrate and preserve the rich culture, history, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

For part of our learning journey, the ACS team joined Aunty Munya and Carla Rogers for an enlightening NAIDOC Week webinar which explored:
đŸ”„ The significance of NAIDOC Week and this year’s theme
đŸ”„ Key principles all Australians can learn from First Nations wisdom
đŸ”„ Practical actions for Allies to help “keep the fire burning”

Let’s show our Indigenous brothers and sisters that we are here for them, we value their Voices and we are committed to continuing the journey towards Reconciliation. Together, we can create a kinder, more inclusive Australia.

ACS Indigenous is now at Lot 14 in Adelaide.

25 March 2024

ACS Indigenous is thrilled to share that we’ve recently been awarded the cleaning services contract at Lot Fourteen, a hub of innovation and progress! Nestled in Adelaide’s CBD, Lot Fourteen is a 7-hectare world-class innovation district fostering collaboration and groundbreaking research. From global tech giants like Amazon Web Services, Airbus, and Salesforce to renowned research institutions, this is where the future is not just envisioned but brought to life!

Lot Fourteen zeroes in on space, defence, cyber, and creative industries, all powered by critical technologies. It’s more than a district; it’s a dynamic ecosystem shaping tomorrow’s solutions. Following a competitive tender process, Renewal SA selected ACS Indigenous due to its mutually shared vision to forge genuine partnerships that create meaningful social, cultural and economic change for First Nations people.

And speaking of success stories. We want to celebrate Raine Karpany, whose incredible journey from her Ngarrindjeri roots, to starting as a cleaner, has now led her to becoming a Client Services Manager for ACS Indigenous. Raine oversees our cleaning provision at Lot Fourteen, plus the cleaning services for a number of the Lot Fourteen tenancies. Her success embodies the ACS Indigenous values of providing positive long term career pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

We’re delighted to be a part of Lot Fourteen’s journey, contributing to the innovation that will drive positive change right in the heart of Adelaide. ACS Indigenous is committed to delivering exceptional cleaning services, which enhances the vibrant community and inclusive environment at Lot Fourteen.

Shaun Burgoyne, our ACS Indigenous Director, Lewis Igini, ACS CEO, Tom Wightman, ACS State Manager and Raine Karpany, Client Services Manager, recently met at Lot Fourteen for a collaborative meeting with the Office of Industry Advocates. The session involved discussions with Phillip Dowsett, Deputy Industry Advocate, and Susanne Panagaris, Senior Industry Participation Consultant, with the aim of strengthening our partnership and share expectations.

National Reconciliation Week 2023

05 June 2023

National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to come together and reflect on the importance of building respectful relationships between First Nation Australians and the wider community. It serves as a reminder of the shared responsibility we hold in creating a more inclusive and equitable society. As a services business, we recognise our role in contributing to this vision of national unity and strive to foster reconciliation in everything we do.

We believe education plays a vital role in this years theme of Being a Voice for Generations, and the ACS Group actively participated in various nationwide activities aimed at paving the way for a more reconciled future.

To commence the week our corporate team in Victoria gathered and were joined virtually by our ACS Indigenous Director, Shaun Burgoyne.  We learned from Shaun what Reconciliation Week means to him, and the significance of the various days within the week.

“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Mauris leo eros varius sed amet amet pellentesque. Ridiculus molestie pretium nisi risus faucibus. Pellentesque commodo cursus massa interdum aliquet pretium non nibh.”

shaun burgoyne,
acs indigenous director

We also indulged in a morning tea from Mabu Mabu, a local First Nations caterer, and learnt about the native ingredient’s used within many of the delicious items. And finally, we engaged in a lively game of Kolap from the Torres Strait Islands, resulting in CFO Anthony Stein and Client Services Manager Narelle Spitiri as the victorious team. Congratulations to them!

On Friday the 2nd of June, our SA corporate team attended the Property Council of Australia’s Reconciliation Week Breakfast in Adelaide.  Where we heard from Kuma Kaara’s Founder, Jack Buckskin, about Aboriginal kinship and the importance of the larger immediate family, in particular Aunties and Uncles, who have an active role in raising the children.  Next, we received insights from a panel that explored how RAPs contribute to the development of accountable roadmaps towards Reconciliation.

We create the right environment for our people and our partners.

06 December 2022

In today’s working world, being a good corporate citizen and having the right social and environmental governance in place is more important than ever.

It’s generally accepted, a ‘green’ focus with a robust waste management program and environmental initiatives in place which reduce your carbon footprint is vital for any organisation.

However, if you’re to be a successful organisation today, you need to take a responsible approach across all aspects of your business, and not just have a ‘green focus’.

At ACS Property Services, we’re proud of the fact we have a comprehensive Environmental, Social and Governance Program (ESG) in place to ensure we create a sustainable future in all areas of our company.

By introducing many positive governance initiatives including social, economic, cultural, financial and environmental sustainability, we’ve shown a strong determination and clear focus on becoming an industry leader and socially responsible organisation.

Employing a socially sustainable approach

Being socially sustainable requires a proactive approach to identifying and managing the way your organisation’s actions impact on employees, customers and local communities.

At ACS Property Services, we continuously seek out innovative and sustainable ways to be better and do better for our business, and our partners’.

Our company culture is very much shaped by our commitment to a ‘one team, one family’ philosophy.

In line with our Responsible Employment Strategy and clear Recruitment Guidelines, we target and attract a diverse workforce.

We’re then able to introduce them into a culturally accepting and safe work environment, to become part of our one inclusive team.

This is supported by our strict employment policies including a Code of Ethics, Equal Opportunity Policy, Gender Equality Action Plan, Anti-bullying Policy, Sexual Harassment Plan and Modern Slavery Policy.

Furthermore, our training and incentive programs are designed to encourage employment longevity and career pathways.

This is demonstrated by our strong focus on equality and safety for women, with many within senior leadership roles.

Our goal is to help Close the Gap

The establishment of ACS Indigenous as a joint venture with ACS Property Services, was part of our vision for a more inclusive Australian community, and to help ‘Close the Gap’ through improving outcomes for First Nations People.

Built on the core pillars of Relationships, Respect and Opportunities, we focus on creating new employment, career and procurement opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, to actively improve their quality of life and economic circumstances.

As ACS Indigenous Director, Shaun Burgoyne says: “One of the reasons I decided to partner with ACS Property Services is because of an alignment on core values pertaining to social sustainability and the opportunities these values give First Nations people”

 

Environmental Sustainability

Our commitment to a more sustainable environment is a core driver for our business, as we work closely with our clients to support them to reach their own sustainability targets and help lower their carbon footprint along with our own.

Through our ISO Accredited Environmental Management Systems, sustainable supply chain partners, waste management and auditing, and our use of green products and technologies, we continually seek out new and innovative ways to lessen our environmental impact for the future.

Sustaining long term client partnerships

We’re always striving to improve and evolve our business which at the end of the day benefits our clients.

One of the key reasons for many of our long-term partnerships, is these clients enjoy the peace of mind knowing they are partnering with a good corporate and social citizen. ACS is someone who can help them reach all of their ESG targets and be aligned with their own business values.

Our clients feel confident knowing ACS staff have all been recruited and treated professionally and ethically, which enhances a more positive working relationship, and adds to overall productivity and value.

Find out more at our ESG page and how ACS Property Services can benefit your business.

When it comes to your staff’s health, put your business in safe hands.

20 September 2022

As we move through Spring, the months ahead still present the risk of flu and other germs as a constant threat to health and safety in the workplace.

Just as winter saw a rise in both Covid and flu cases throughout Australia, it is still prudent for all businesses to be vigilant in maintaining clean and hygienic work environments to combat the worry of sickness amongst their staff, their clients and their local communities.

This makes choosing the right Property Services provider of the upmost importance.

You need a partner you can trust to not only provide expert protective measures such as a routine cleaning and maintenance, Spring and deep cleaning, but also the essential services, supplies and equipment you need on an ongoing basis to keep your workplace and your staff safe.

You need a partner like ACS Property Services, who works with you to provide the highest levels of protection for your business.

As ACS Property Services Managing Director, Lewis Igini says: “Our specialised teams have the expertise and professionalism to work with you and ensure you raise the level of your workplace cleanliness. Our aim is to  give you support and peace of mind at all times.”

Let’s start with a Deep Clean

Beyond the prevention of covid, we need to protect our employees from the everyday germs and illness. There is no more thorough or better way to ensure your workplace is totally clean and sanitised than a Deep Clean.

Essentially it involves disinfecting as well as sanitising all surfaces of your work environment that are susceptible to touching, focusing on frequently touched surfaces and accessible spaces..

This means your workplace undergoes a complete and thorough cleaning process to remove all bacteria and germs as well as any visible dirt.

It also includes all those little nooks and crannies like bookshelves or blinds, which aren’t often used, but can still harbour nasty germs.

A Deep Clean can call for specialised cleaning services, such as for carpet steam cleaning  or external windows washed on top of preventative disinfection cleaning through the introduction of additional day cleaning services.

ACS Property Services can provide a most comprehensive and professional Deep Clean service, with superior training and equipment to regular cleaners.

Our list of services goes deeper

At the end of the day, your safety is our priority, and our full suite of preventative and reactive infection control services can give you total peace of mind.

These include Temperature Readings where we use a non-contact handheld infrared thermometer for fever screening to check, measure and monitor your staff’s temperature.

We can also install and supply hand sanitiser for your workplace, including bathrooms, reception and kitchen areas including hand sanitiser stands for foyers and shared spaces.

While mandatory mask wearing is gone, it’s wise to be prepared in the workplace as there may be circumstances where they will be needed. So we bulk supply face masks, both disposable and fabric, that meet all industry hygiene standards.

You may also consider using a surface sanitiser as an ongoing protective measure in your workplace.

ACS has product options that include non-toxic, environmentally safe defence layers which kill, and then sanitise. With a complete understanding of your business needs, ACS can provide you with recommendations that will help to deliver the appropriate level of sanitation to your workspace.

Put yourself in safe hands

Looking to the future, it’s easy to see the health and workplace benefits of protecting your business and your staff against the threat of Covid, flu and other hygiene related health risks.

Partnering with ACS Property Services provides a simple solution to a complex problem by providing the cutting-edge expertise and services to safeguard your business in the years ahead.

Go straight for a Property Services Provider that’s ahead of the curve.

31 August 2022

In the last few years, the shock of the Covid-19 pandemic has brought a spotlight on industries at the forefront of essential services.

While the Medical sector would be the first that comes to mind, the role of Property Services has increased in importance and, at the same time, put intense scrutiny on its performance and processes as an industry.

Pre-pandemic services relating to property sanitisation and maintenance may have largely travelled under the radar.

Understandably, industries that have seemed more lucrative or more exciting than the perceived mundane processes of routine cleaning services have kept up to date with advances in innovative technology and client services.

But if cleaning and other Property Services, in general, had become somewhat of a ‘forgotten’ industry, Covid-19 has changed all that.


The changing role of Property Services

The question for any business today is, has your Property Services provider moved forward with the industry’s changing demands and advances in technology, and can they live up to your business needs and expectations?

If not, it may be time to consider partnering with a company that’s ahead of the curve, such as ACS Property Services.

Because there’s never been a more opportune time to work with a Property Services company that is driven by change and understanding other businesses’ needs to modernise their processes. Where you get the benefits of technology, global innovations, up-to-date industry compliance, and an unwavering focus on environmentally responsible practices. All underpinned by excellence in customer service.

Find the right partner like ACS Property Services, and you can future-proof your business for all your Property Services requirements in 2022 and beyond.

Being accountable means good communication

Today, more than ever, it’s vital to find a Provider you communicate well with.

Someone you have confidence in to deliver the services you expect, avoiding the frustration that comes from poor proof of service delivery and scheduling conflicts, no shows or last-minute cancellations.

A partner you can get hold of when you need them, especially in urgent situations.

At ACS Property Services, we are focussed on exceeding your business expectations with both accessibility and complete accountability. At the forefront of this is our client portal.

As a 24/7 communication tool tailored to your specific requirements, our portal simplifies reporting and data capturing and provides total transparency of the services we provide you.

Moving into the future, it is helping facilitate our offer of a more output-based model that ensures greater efficiencies and better value for money for you.

 

Creating the right environment

Who would argue that the way forward for any business today, including Property Services Providers, is to have a strong environmental focus on everything we do.

At ACS Property Services, we are leading the way by constantly searching for innovative ways to lower our environmental impact and that of our clients.

From sourcing the most efficient equipment to reducing chemical use through our Stabilised Aqueous Ozone technology, which turns tap water into a powerful cleaner, we offer a suite of sustainable products as part of our everyday services.

The times are a changing

In an industry that has seen little change for decades, we are elevating the role of innovation to lift service and standards to new levels. We’ve embraced the challenge to modernise and digitally transform inefficient and time-consuming processes.

We’re focused on using technology to improve customer experiences and provide greater transparency while continually seeking out innovative and environmentally friendly cleaning methodologies to reduce our footprint.

Make it your business to know your State’s Labour Hire Licencing Laws.

28 June 2022

If your business is currently working with a Labour Hire Provider, have you checked if they’re actually licenced to provide labour-hire services?

Or whether they’re required as a large organisation to report annually under the Modern Slavery Act?

Quite possibly you may not have. Well even though you’re not the labour provider, you may still be liable under your State’s Labour Hire Licencing Laws.

That’s right. As the ‘host company’, you may have a legal responsibility to ensure any business you work with from a labour-hire environment, is fully licenced.

So for example, the cleaning and property maintenance business you engage, could in fact be unlicenced.

That puts you at the risk of facing fines of over $400,000.

So let’s look at how you can ensure your business is protected for the future by partnering with fully licenced companies such as ACS Property Services.

Why were Labour Hire Laws introduced?

In recent years, the Labour Hire industry has come under intense scrutiny for evidence of widespread wage theft, poor workplace health and safety, denial of workers’ rights and exploitation of vulnerable workers.

In 2019, in order to better protect workers along with promoting more responsible practices within the industry, Victoria, South Australia, ACT and Queensland introduced a new licensing scheme for Labour Hire Providers. A National Scheme will most likely be introduced by the Federal Government in the near future.

According to Victoria’s Labour Hire Licensing Commissioner, Steve Dargavel: “Labour hire licensing is about improving the transparency and integrity of the sector to protect workers from exploitation by Labour Hire Providers and their hosts.”

 

Defining Labour Hire Laws

Just in case you’re not quite clear about what is a Labour Hire Provider, here’s a simple definition.

The Labour Hire Authority in Victoria describes a Provider as a business which has an arrangement to supply individuals to perform work in a host business or undertaking, and is obliged to pay those individuals for that work.

So for example, if you hire ACS Property Services to clean and maintain your business environment, we provide you with the labour for the services required and you are the host.

The definition of a Labour Hire Worker is any individual employed and paid by a Labour Hire Provider and supplied to host businesses on a full-time, part-time or casual basis.

So who needs a Licence?

Currently, to operate legally in Victoria, South Australia, ACT and Queensland, all Labour Hire Providers must be licenced under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018.

Licences are granted to an organization after they have proven a past record of compliance with their legal obligations. These obligations include payment of correct wages and superannuation as well as providing a safe workplace environment.

Since the Licencing Laws have been introduced, it appears both hosts and providers have had a positive reaction. The hope is that licensing will level the playing field so that compliant companies are no longer competing with businesses seeking to profit from denying workers minimum pay rates and conditions.

Avoid any risk with ACS Property Services

When you partner with ACS Property Services and ACS Indigenous, you can rest assured we are a fully licenced provider of cleaning and property services staff.

As part of our ‘One Team, One Family’ approach, we highly value every staff member and so abide by each State’s Labour Licencing Laws and the Modern Slavery Laws.

In fact, as a proudly ethical employer, we have all the necessary licences and accreditations for our industry.

As our Managing Director Lewis Igini says: “We have introduced a number of policies and procedures to support our staff, along with ensuring our partners feel assured we tick all the boxes when it comes to being totally industry compliant.”

We maintain great relationships by doing more than just cleaning

07 June 2022

Every business today is fully aware of the need for regular cleaning services to ensure a clean, hygienic environment that encourages a better work experience and optimum output.

But here’s something to think about.

While you’re keeping your business workplace clean on a day-to-day basis, are you also keeping it well maintained?

Can you remember the last time you had your carpets not just vacuumed but professionally steam cleaned? Have you recently checked your premises for the health risks of mould? Have your floors seen better days and in need of a little restoration?

Depending on your type of business environment, regular 6 monthly maintenance can work wonders on a number of levels. ­­­­­

Firstly, you’re protecting a valuable asset for your business while potentially saving costs by avoiding more serious maintenance work in the long term.

Then there are the more intangible benefits of staff morale and performance that comes from a clean, well maintained and inviting environment, especially in winter.

Cleanliness is next to maintenance

The good news is that regular maintenance of your property is as easy as partnering with ACS Property Services because we simply do it all.

Think of us as your one-stop property maintenance shop.

We not only provide you with our industry-leading cleaning services and expertise but offer a breadth of property maintenance services to ensure your workplace is always in prime condition.

On top of that, all of our services use the latest, sustainable technologies and systems to guarantee you’re not only maintaining your property but also looking after the environment.

Maintenance from the ground up

From floor to ceiling, ACS Property Services have your property maintenance needs covered.

Depending on your environment and the age and wear on your carpets, we can advise you on how often you should have your carpets steam cleaned each year, to ensure they look great and last longer. We only source the latest environmentally friendly technology and equipment with our expertly trained staff to ensure optimum results.

Should you need repairs or restoration to any of your hard floors, our specialist flooring team is ready to work with you.

We can rejuvenate your old slippery floors back to their former glory reaching the highest non-slip P5 standards available.

Specialist treatments that break the mould

The last thing you want to see on your property is mould. It’s not only an unsightly mess to look at, and it’s also a health hazard for everyone in your workplace.

Our specialist team at ACS Property Services will start by removing all visible mould from your property.

Then, as experts in mould remediation, we’ll identify the causes of the mould growth and, using the latest innovative technology, provide some practical solutions and advice to ensure your mould problem is dealt with effectively.

This process of air quality assessment, mould investigation and remediation treatment ensures where you work can be restored to a safe environment for the future.

 

Watering down the effects of property damage

Water damage caused by flooding, heavy rain or leaky plumbing can strike at the worst time, causing damage to your office and equipment, such as wet carpets and furniture and stained or damaged walls.

At ACS Property Services, our disaster recovery team specialises in drying out and cleaning your property. We can minimalise the damage and risk of contamination and mould during the restoration process.

In fact, the sooner you can speak to us, and we start recovery work, the better the results will be for you.

 

Maintaining a great partnership

If you’re looking for someone to look after your property with cleaning services, it really does pay to find the right people who can also provide expert property maintenance services across the board.

Especially when all our maintenance services have a strong focus on sustainable technology for a better environmental outcome.

A Property Services provider that’s well schooled in the Education sector

28 April 2022

If you work in Education, you may be on the lookout for a Property Services provider.

Someone that provides quality property services that are both transparent and accountable, so you have peace of mind without the noise.

Even better, a partner who is well-schooled in the needs of the Education sector, and has the scope and experience to deliver a range of cleaning, waste and hygiene services to suit your specific requirements.

A specialist team who not only can provide the day-to-day cleaning services during the term, without noise or distractions for your students and staff.

But also a team that is well prepared to be at their busiest, when you’re at your quietest over the Christmas break and in between terms.

Whether it be carpet steam cleaning, exterior window washing or treating your gymnasium floors, you need a Property Services provider with the ability and the ad hoc specialist personnel to provide such services all at the same time.

Beyond providing quality cleaning services, we are constantly looking for ways to support the greater communities of our Education clients.

We have a strong CSR Program in place, implementing a range of initiatives that best support our clients. These include providing an integrated service solution with our joint venture partner ACS Indigenous and implementing Tersano cleaning systems units to significantly reduce the use of chemicals across campuses.

As Lewis Igini, Managing Director ACS Property Services states: “We believe as business partners, it’s important we do that extra bit for our Education clients. For example, we offer work experience opportunities, introducing students to areas such as finance or IT, as well as support their co-curricular activities.”

24/7 accountability through your own portal

A key benefit of partnering with ACS Property Services or ACS Indigenous is your 24/7 access to our client portal. Providing transparency through audit reports and data capturing including time and attendance, the portal acts as a work order management system and a great communication tool for you and our onsite teams to provide rapid response when required such as vandalism or should a light need replacing.

This ensures everything we deliver to you as a client is totally transparent. For example, you’ll know which of your buildings have been cleaned, for how long and exactly what work has been done.

It means we can create tailored service solutions to suit your needs and then continually monitor them to ensure you are provided with ongoing value for money.

The right Property Services provider can offer real peace of mind

Choose the right Property Services partner and optimise your business

27 January 2022

For many businesses, choosing who you work with for your cleaning and other property services probably isn’t top of mind.

Until recently, cleaning providers have been considered a service, rather than a trusted partner that can have a profound effect on your business.

As Damien Boulton, Business Growth Manager at ACS Property Services points out: ‘Beyond exceeding daily cleaning requirements, cleaning companies must now help an organisation deliver ongoing efficiencies, ensure staff wellbeing and help achieve corporate social responsibility goals.’

The reality is, the right Property Services provider can offer you a level of innovation, knowledge, skills and technologies, that not only helps you manage your business, but gives you the peace of mind to focus on your own objectives to elevate your business success.

How do you choose the right one?

So what are the key things that make a Property Service provider right for your business?

These can be many and varied depending on your business, how big you are and the industry you operate in.

There are however some key questions you can ask yourself before choosing a Property Services provider to partner with. Start by evaluating what’s important to you. Am I choosing a provider who:

  • Understands my business needs from the very start to provide a customer centric approach?
  • Is transparent to provide confidence they are delivering ongoing value?
  • Incorporates global insights and innovative technologies into their offer?
  • Can help our business decrease our own carbon footprint?
  • Is certified and offers industry best Covid safe practices?
  • Is experienced in our industry offering the type of services we require?
  • Is a good fit with our business culture and ethics?

There could be many other questions you could ask yourself, but this is a great place to start.

Find someone who gives you affirmative answers to what you consider important and you’ve significantly enhanced your chances of finding the right Property Services company to be your partner for the future.

ACS Property Services could be just what you’re looking for

At ACS Property Services, we take enormous pride in partnering with over 350 clients, offering them a customer centric ‘one team one family’ approach. Our strength as an organisation relies on strategic investment in training and the empowerment of our people to create a singularly focussed, motivated team ready to take on any challenge.

We believe it’s vitally important to dig deep to understand your business needs and goals, so we can then partner with you as a trusted advisor to provide elite level, cost efficient services and our expert knowledge and industry experience.

Combining sustainable technologies and a committed approach, we give you the reassurance of being triple certified for quality, environmental and workplace health, and safety in all our property services.

Sourcing global insights, our innovative, sustainable mindset and environmentally friendly cleaning methodologies enable us to reduce both our clients’ and our own carbon footprint.

We are also intensely proud of our vision to ‘Close the Gap’ providing career and procurement opportunities for Indigenous Australians, through ACS Indigenous, headed by former AFL champion and proud Kokatha man , Shaun Burgoyne.
