Education

Where learning thrives

We manage the daily operations that keep campuses safe, resilient and ready for learning. Across schools, TAFEs and universities, we maintain learning and living spaces to consistently high standards so students and staff can thrive.

What we offer

A dedicated partner to Australian education

With over 25 years’ experience, ISS is a long-term steward of the Australian education sector. We know that a campus is a high-pressure environment with shifting needs. Our teams are more than a service workforce; they are an integrated part of the campus community, dedicated to protecting the safety and wellbeing of students and staff.

By self-delivering our core services, we provide a single point of accountability. This ensures faster response times for urgent repairs, consistently prepared facilities, and student accommodation that feels like a home away from home for tertiary students.

how we deliver

On-campus expertise in action

Our teams work directly on-site, giving us the visibility to identify risks early and resolve issues before they disrupt the teaching cycle.

Rapid incident response: Onsite supervisors use real-time digital reporting to log and rectify hazards or spills within minutes.

Asset longevity: Preventive maintenance schedules protect campus infrastructure and reduce unplanned capital expenditure.

High-traffic hygiene: Specialised cleaning protocols keep libraries, study hubs and amenities maintained during peak exam or event periods.

Timetable-aligned delivery: Cleaning and maintenance are coordinated around classes, assessment blocks and graduation events.

Safe spaces that inspire learning

We maintain environments that support calm, focused learning and uphold strict duty-of-care expectations.

Science-led hygiene: Through our Pure Space™ methodology, we focus on high-touch surfaces including desks and shared technology, using ATP testing to verify hygiene levels.

Safeguarding and compliance: Every ISS employee on campus completes mandatory Working with Children Checks (WWCC) and education-specific safety inductions. Our staff are trained to be a discreet, reliable and protective presence.

Residential excellence: In tertiary settings, we manage comprehensive housekeeping and maintenance for student accommodation, ensuring secure spaces that support both study and wellbeing.

Delivering results that count

Our direct-delivery model guarantees consistent, high-quality standards across the largest and most complex education portfolios.
