The NSW Department of Education will manage whole-of-government cleaning services from 1 January 2026. These arrangements will apply to all NSW public schools, as well as participating whole-of-government agencies and other eligible entities across the state.

The 2026 cleaning services arrangements will be conducted in 2 programs:

  1. Whole-of-government cleaning contracts to support most regions across NSW, except for Hunter and Central Coast. 
  2. Direct employment of cleaning services staff for Hunter and Central regions.
