The Government is committed to protecting the
right of the State's cleaners to fair employment conditions
and seeks to ensure that agencies only procure cleaning services
from suppliers that provide fair employment conditions for their
employees.
Instructions on the procedures to be adopted
to comply with the Government's policy on procurement of
cleaning services are provided in the Treasurer's Instruction 1126. These require agencies,
when procuring cleaning services not impacted by a free trade
agreement (or when extending any cleaning service agreement), to
ensure it is a condition for participation that suppliers have
adopted the Union's Clean Start Principles. In addition where
the cleaning services are to be delivered within the Hobart CBD,
agencies must ensure that they include a further condition for
participation that suppliers have signed the Clean Start Collective
Agreement.
Information on suppliers who have adopted the
Clean Start Principles and signed the Clean Start Collective
Agreement can be obtained from United Voice (formerly the LHMU).
Agencies should email such queries to tas@lhmu.org.au.
When procuring or extending cleaning services
impacted by a free trade agreement, potential suppliers must
demonstrate that they have a commitment to fair pay and conditions
for their employees.
The Treasurer's Instruction 1126 applies
to cleaning contracts regardless of the value of the contract.
Refer to the Treasurer's Instruction 1126 for further information on
the Government's policy.
