Why this page exists
Built for the person doing the paperwork
If you manage property, sit on a body corporate committee or run a facility, engaging a cleaning contractor means collecting documents before anyone starts work. Most operators handle that by email, one attachment at a time, on their own timetable. We'd rather you had the full picture in front of you from the start.
Everything below is current and held ready. Certificates of currency naming your organisation as an interested party are usually turned around the same business day — email james@topwash.au with your entity name and the site address.

What we hold
The documentation, in full
Risk management
How we manage risk
Every type of work we do — residential, commercial and industrial, childcare — carries a category risk assessment paired to its SWMS: the standing hazards of that work, who is at risk, the controls, and the residual rating once those controls are applied. Controls follow the hierarchy — eliminate, substitute, isolate, engineer, administrate, then PPE — and PPE is never the sole control.
The paperwork never replaces eyes on the ground: a pre-start walk happens at every job, every time, and anything that cannot be held at low or medium risk stops the job until it is resolved. Where your contractor-management system needs documents naming your site, a site-specific risk assessment and SWMS addendum are completed and attached to the job record.
How engagement works
From paperwork to a standing schedule
First, the documents. Request the certificates and documentation your records or tender needs — same-day where we can manage it.
A walk-through to scope the work, flag hazards and agree exactly what done looks like — from fire access and service points kept clear to bin surrounds, stairwells and hard stands.
Then it runs. A recurring schedule in our job-management software with itemised invoicing per site, consolidated or split to suit your reporting. See commercial exterior cleaning for the full service.
Common questions
Compliance FAQ
How fast can you provide a certificate of currency?
Usually the same business day. Email your entity name and the site address and we'll have our insurer issue it naming your organisation as an interested party.
Is your SWMS site-specific?
No — deliberately. We run one standing SWMS for each type of work: residential, commercial and industrial, and childcare. Every worker signs it and works to one set of controls they know cold, rather than paperwork reinvented for every site. Each SWMS is paired with a category risk assessment for that type of work, site hazards are captured at the walk-through, and where your contractor-management system needs documents naming your site, we complete a site-specific addendum and risk assessment and attach them. Same rigour, no reinvented paperwork.
Will your team complete our site induction?
Yes. Inductions and contractor management requirements are normal territory — we work on logistics, industrial, education and care sites that require them.
Who on the team holds Blue Cards?
Every worker attending a childcare, school or care setting while children are on site holds a current Blue Card alongside their police check. For work scheduled outside operating hours — weekends, closed days and school holidays — Blue Cards aren't legally required, and that is usually when we prefer to be there anyway, with the site empty. Police checks apply to everyone, always.
Can invoicing be split per site?
Yes — itemised per site showing what was done and when, consolidated into one invoice or split per property, whichever suits your reporting or your committee's AGM papers.
