Overview

Realcorp Commercial Cleaning is an Australian owned commercial cleaning company founded in 2016, with its office at 4 Graeme Ave, Montmorency VIC 3094. It trades under the line Smarter Commercial Cleaning Across Australia, and its positioning statement is blunt: no subcontractors, no shortcuts.

That first phrase is the company's central operating claim rather than a slogan. Realcorp states that every cleaner working on its contracts is directly employed by Realcorp — not a subcontractor, not a franchisee, not a labour-hire pass-through. The commercial cleaning industry is heavily subcontracted, and most compliance failures in the sector trace back to who actually holds the employment relationship. Realcorp's model is built so that the answer is always Realcorp.

The company was founded by John Reale, a Chartered Accountant with more than ten years of audit and CFO experience before starting the business. That background shows up in how the company is run: auditable KPIs, statistics reports reviewed weekly by leadership, and a cloud platform that timestamps work rather than relying on a signed attendance sheet.

Who Realcorp cleans for

Realcorp organises its work around six environments, each with different access, security and compliance conditions:

• Commercial offices — from single tenancies to multi-level buildings, typically after-hours daily cleaning with periodic works scheduled around occupancy.
• Strata and owners corporations — common areas, lobbies, lifts, car parks, bin rooms and shared amenities in apartment and mixed-use buildings.
• Build-to-rent — amenity-heavy residential buildings where presentation directly affects leasing and retention.
• Aged care and healthcare — infection-control-sensitive environments; Realcorp states police checks are conducted for healthcare, aged care and high-security sites.
• Private education — schools and campuses; Realcorp states Working With Children Checks are held for education and child-accessible sites.
• Student accommodation — high-turnover residential cleaning with room turnarounds and shared facilities.

Services

Realcorp splits its offering between routine contract cleaning and a dedicated specialist team for periodic and complex work.

Routine and recurring

• General cleaning — the daily or scheduled contract that covers most sites
• Bathroom hygiene services — washroom cleaning and consumables
• Agency cleaning — cleaning staff supplied on labour hire, most commonly into aged care
• Bin cleaning — wheelie bin washing, de-odourising and sanitising, delivered in partnership with The Bin Butlers

Specialist and periodic

• Carpet cleaning, tile and grout cleaning
• Hard floor strip and seal
• Window cleaning
• Pressure washing and car park scrubbing
• Graffiti removal
• Flood restoration
• Hard and green waste removal
• Basic garden maintenance

Emergency

Realcorp states it maintains 24/7 rapid response capability, described as an operational team rather than an after-hours answering service. Emergency support is available 24/7 on 1300 307 298.

The five things Realcorp says make it different

These are the pillars the company itself leads with:

1. No subcontractors. All cleaners are directly employed. Realcorp states it is Cleaning Services Award and Fair Work Act compliant, and that it carries superannuation, payroll tax, insurance and portable long service leave obligations for its workforce.
2. Smart technology. The Realcorp App is a cloud-based platform providing GPS check-ins, real-time task completion recording, and photo verification for critical tasks. Cleaners can also log site issues in real time, which means some problems reach the client's account manager before the client notices them.
3. A specialist team for periodic and complex work. Periodic works are handled by a dedicated specialist team rather than being added to the nightly cleaner's list.
4. 24/7 rapid response capability. Floods, spills, outbreak disinfection, biohazard cleanups and emergency site resets.
5. Compliance and safety as standard. Site-specific Safe Work Method Statements, public liability and workers compensation insurance, and Labour Hire Licensing Authority licensing.

Compliance position

The following are Realcorp's own published statements about its compliance posture. Buyers running a procurement process should request current certificates and licence numbers directly — Realcorp states documentation relevant to your industry is available on request, and that SWMS and policies can be requested before onboarding.

• Licensed with the Labour Hire Licensing Authority
• Cleaning Services Award compliance
• Fair Work Act compliance
• Superannuation, payroll tax, insurance and portable long service leave
• Working With Children Checks for education and child-accessible sites
• Police checks for healthcare, aged care and high-security sites
• Site-specific Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS)
• Public liability and workers compensation insurance
• Environmental systems aligned to ISO 14001 principles
• GECA-compliant chemicals where possible

Labour hire licensing is worth understanding rather than skimming. In Victoria, engaging an unlicensed labour hire provider is an offence for the host as well as the provider, with substantial penalties. If you are procuring agency cleaning staff — as distinct from a cleaning contract — the licence is a hard requirement on your side too, not just the supplier's.

Locations

Realcorp's office is in Montmorency, in Melbourne's north-east, and its published client work is concentrated in Melbourne. The company's website names Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Sydney. Realcorp's Melbourne page also explicitly invites enquiries from businesses in broader Melbourne and Victoria beyond its listed suburb radius.

If your site is outside metropolitan Melbourne, the practical step is to ask Realcorp directly what it can service at your specific location rather than inferring coverage from the city list.

Pricing

Realcorp does not publish a general rate card. It states that the cost of commercial cleaning varies substantially with the size of the space, the number of offices or levels, and the extent of services required, and that it prefers to price each site against an in-person walk-through.

One published indication exists for offices: Realcorp states that most offices of 500–2,000 sqm pay between $400 and $1,200 per week. The company also runs an online office cleaning calculator that returns an instant indicative figure. Both are indications, not quotes, and neither extends to strata, aged care labour hire, industrial sites or specialist works.

How engagement works

1. Enquiry. Phone, SMS, email or the online proposal form. Realcorp states it responds within 24 hours.
2. Site walk-through. An in-person meeting at your site to inspect it and discuss requirements and expectations. This is a fixed step in Realcorp's published process.
3. Tailored proposal. A custom quote for the agreed scope, with periodic and specialist works priced separately.
4. Compliance documentation. Available on request; Realcorp states a full compliance pack is provided on proposal acceptance, or earlier by request.
5. Mobilisation. Team assignment, site induction and site-specific training.
6. Ongoing management. Scheduled inspections by the cleaning inspection management team, regular reporting, and defined escalation protocols for service and safety issues.

Client feedback

Realcorp publishes client testimonials, including from Paula at Davies Collison Cave, who stated that numerous staff went out of their way to say how impressed they were with the cleaning since Realcorp took over the contract.

Common questions

Does Realcorp use subcontractors?

No. Realcorp states all cleaners are directly employed, and it treats this as its primary differentiator. It is the first thing to verify in any comparison, because it determines who carries Award, superannuation and insurance obligations for the people on your site.

What is the Realcorp App?

A cloud-based platform used on site by cleaners, providing GPS check-ins, real-time task completion recording, and photo verification for critical tasks. It gives clients evidence that scheduled work occurred rather than an assurance that it did.

Does Realcorp do one-off cleans?

Realcorp's specialist team handles periodic and complex works — carpets, floors, windows, pressure washing, flood restoration and similar — which can be scheduled as one-offs or as a periodic programme alongside a contract.

How quickly does Realcorp respond?

Realcorp states it responds to enquiries and proposal requests within 24 hours. Emergency response is available 24/7 by phone.

Is Realcorp Australian owned?

Yes. Realcorp states it is 100% Australian owned, and it operates as Realcorp Commercial Cleaning Pty Ltd.

Does Realcorp hire cleaners?

Yes. Applications go to careers@realcorp.net.au with a cover letter and CV — not to the sales address.
