WINDOW CLEANING FOR SCHOOLS, UNIVERSITIES, AND TAFE CAMPUSES ACROSS MELBOURNE
CAMPUS READY
Window Cleaning Aligned With Your Academic Calendar
Educational facilities present a distinct set of challenges for building and facilities managers responsible for window cleaning and facade maintenance. The presence of students — including children at primary and secondary level — creates duty of care obligations that extend beyond standard workplace safety. Add to this the complexity of large campuses, mixed building vintages, high-rise student accommodation, specialist facilities such as laboratories and aquatic centres, and procurement frameworks that require formal tendering, and it becomes clear that educational facilities demand a specialist contractor.
McPherson Window Cleaning works with facilities managers and business managers across Melbourne's school, university, and TAFE sectors to deliver cleaning programmes that are compliant, operationally sound, and timed to minimise disruption to teaching and learning activities. We understand the rhythms of an educational calendar and build our programmes around them.
- Scheduling aligned with school terms, examination periods, and semester breaks
- Child safety and duty of care protocols observed on all school sites
- Experience across primary, secondary, and tertiary campuses
- Mixed building vintage and access complexity managed as standard
- Formal procurement and contractor compliance documentation available
Whether you manage a single school or a multi-campus institution, we will develop a programme that fits your calendar and meets your compliance requirements. Call us today on 1300 30 15 40 to get started.
THE COMPLIANCE STANDARD YOUR CAMPUS REQUIRES
Meeting the Contractor Standards Your Campus Requires
Educational institutions in Victoria operate under multiple overlapping regulatory frameworks. Schools are subject to the Department of Education's contractor management requirements. Universities and TAFE institutions operate under their own WHS frameworks, often incorporating specific contractor induction systems and permit-to-work protocols. All elevated work on any campus is governed by the OHS Act 2004 and OHS Regulations 2017, with additional obligations under the Building Act 1993 where facade access involves structural anchors or BMUs.
McPherson provides comprehensive contractor compliance documentation as a matter of course: current public liability and workers compensation certificates, SWMS for every task type, high-risk work licence verification, and site induction compliance records. We are experienced working within formal permit-to-work systems and can integrate with your existing contractor management platform, whether that is Rapid Global, Cm3, or an equivalent system.

COMPLIANCE DELIVERED
SAFE ACCESS ACROSS EVERY BUILDING TYPE ON YOUR CAMPUS
Safe Access Across Heritage, High-Rise, and Modern Structures
A university or TAFE campus may encompass heritage-listed buildings from the 19th century, mid-century brick structures, 1980s curtain wall towers, and contemporary high-rise student accommodation completed within the last decade. Each building type presents different access requirements, anchor point configurations, and glazing systems. A contractor equipped only for one type of structure is not equipped for your campus.
McPherson's IRATA-certified rope access technicians have the training and equipment to operate safely across all of these environments. For buildings with installed BMUs, we are experienced in their operation and maintenance protocols. For heritage structures where anchor installation must be managed sensitively, we work within the constraints of your heritage overlay and advise on appropriate access methodologies. For open-air elevated work on modern facades, we deploy EWPs with appropriate traffic management controls.
- IRATA rope access across heritage, mid-rise, and high-rise buildings
- BMU operation and facade access planning for modern structures
- Sensitive anchor use on heritage-listed campus buildings
- EWPs deployed with traffic management for pedestrian-heavy campuses
- Site-specific SWMS and risk assessments for every building type
If your campus includes buildings with complex or varied access requirements, our team is ready to assess every structure and recommend the right approach. Call us today on 1300 30 15 40 to arrange a campus access consultation..

High Rise Window Cleaning FAQ
Cleaning windows in high rise buildings requires techniques, like rope access and abseiling. These methods help us reach windows safely and efficiently in areas that are hard to clean, using traditional tools, like ladders or scaffolding. Our skilled technicians use these approaches to guarantee cleaning of every window no matter how high or architecturally challenging it may be.
High rise window cleaning is perfect for a range of buildings, such as office towers, residential high rises, skyscrapers and structures with unique features. Whether you oversee a building, apartment complex or a distinctive architectural masterpiece, our high rise window cleaning services are tailored to suit your requirements.

Abseiling involves descending from the top of the building using ropes and harnesses, allowing our technicians to clean each window with precision. These techniques are highly effective for reaching all areas of a building’s exterior safely and efficiently.
We use eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning solutions that are safe for both the environment and your building materials. These solutions are designed to effectively remove dirt, grime, and other contaminants without causing damage to the windows or surrounding surfaces.
