Disability and NDIS services
Provider offices, day programs and supported accommodation. The densest category in the northern suburbs and the one where documented cleaning is worth the most, because it has to survive an audit rather than an opinion.

Our base
We are not servicing Broadmeadows. We are in it
Marlow's Melbourne operation runs out of Broadmeadows, postcode 3047. That is not a service area listed on a page written somewhere else. It is where the equipment is kept, where the vehicle starts, and where the person who quotes your building lives.
It matters for a reason that has nothing to do with local pride. Cleaning contracts fail on response time far more often than they fail on technique. A cleaner who does not arrive, a machine that has to be fetched from the other side of the city, a supervisor who cannot get to a site until Thursday. Being ten minutes away turns most of those from a week of emails into an hour of driving.
It also means we know which parts of Broadmeadows are genuinely different from each other, which a contractor quoting from a map does not. The retail precinct, the civic precinct, the industrial pocket and the health and community services around them each want a different scope.
Where the work is in Broadmeadows
- Broadmeadows Central and the retail precinct — shopfronts, showrooms, food outlets and the professional suites above and around them
- The Hume City Council civic precinct — council facilities, community centres, the library and the halls and meeting spaces attached to them
- Broadmeadows Hospital and the health precinct — allied health, specialist rooms and community health services in the streets around it
- Maygar Boulevard and Widford Street — the light industrial pocket, including manufacturing, trade suppliers and warehousing
- Community and disability services — one of the densest concentrations of provider offices, day programs and supported accommodation in the north
- Early learning and schools — long day care, kindergartens and outside school hours care across Broadmeadows, Dallas, Coolaroo and Jacana
Sectors
What we clean here
Broadmeadows and Coolaroo together account for a substantial share of our Melbourne prospect list, and the mix is unusual: heavy on community, disability and health services, with a light industrial pocket alongside it and a retail centre in the middle.
Medical and allied health
General practice, dental and allied health rooms around the hospital and community health precinct, cleaned to a documented two step protocol at $72 an hour plus GST.
Childcare and early learning
Long day care and kindergartens across Broadmeadows, Dallas, Coolaroo, Jacana and Westmeadows, cleaned after the last child leaves by Victorian Working With Children Checked cleaners.
Light industrial
The Maygar Boulevard and Widford Street pocket. Crib rooms, amenities, change rooms and site offices first, floors second, which is the order the hours actually fall in.
Offices and professional suites
Professional and community services offices, cleaned after hours at $64 an hour plus GST, or during the day at $58 where the tenancy allows it.
Owners corporation
Common property in the walk-up and low rise stock around the station and the retail precinct. Foyers, stairwells, bin bays and car parks, with a monthly written report.
Reach
Honest drive times from here
Every contractor claims to cover the north. These are the actual numbers from our door, in ordinary traffic, and they are the reason our service area stops where it does.
- Campbellfield — about 10 minutes
- Tullamarine and the airport precinct — about 12 minutes
- Craigieburn — about 15 minutes
- Coburg — about 18 minutes
- Thomastown — about 18 minutes
- Epping — about 20 minutes
- Preston — about 22 minutes
What being close actually changes
A supervisor can attend a site the same morning rather than the following week. A machine can be swapped mid-shift instead of the job being rescheduled. An emergency call out at $85 an hour plus GST is a real service rather than a line on a rate card, because somebody can actually get there.
It also changes what we are willing to quote. We do not take work we cannot service properly, and the honest edge of that is roughly 25 kilometres from Broadmeadows. Beyond it we will tell you before you book, not after.
Homes
We clean houses here too
The same base covers residential work across Broadmeadows, Dallas, Coolaroo, Jacana, Westmeadows and Gladstone Park. Regular cleaning is a fixed price per clean from a published table rather than an open hourly rate, and there is no surcharge for pets. The numbers are on house cleaning in Melbourne.
Exit cleans are on end of lease cleaning in Melbourne, with a seven day re-clean guarantee. Before you book one, it is worth reading what Victorian law actually requires when you move out, because it is less than most cleaning companies in this market imply.
Our Broadmeadows terms, in short
- Standard commercial rate $58 an hour plus GST, 6am to 6pm weekdays
- After 6pm $64, overnight $72, Saturday $78, Sunday $95
- Minimum recurring commercial contract $750 plus GST a month
- No travel charge anywhere in Broadmeadows, Dallas, Coolaroo or Jacana
- Free site inspection, about forty minutes, no obligation
- Thirty days notice either way after a three month establishment period
Questions
Broadmeadows cleaning questions
Are you actually based in Broadmeadows?
Yes. Our Melbourne base is in Broadmeadows 3047, which is where the equipment is kept and where the vehicle starts each day. It is also where we verify our Google Business Profile. Like most cleaning contractors we operate as a service area business rather than a shopfront, so we do not display a street address, but the locality is real and everything we quote in Melbourne is quoted from here.
Does being local actually change anything?
It changes response time, which is what cleaning contracts fail on. A supervisor can attend the same morning rather than next week. A machine can be swapped mid-shift instead of the job being rescheduled. An emergency call out is a service we can genuinely provide rather than a line on a rate card. Technique is easy to buy in this industry. Turning up quickly is not.
What sort of premises do you clean in Broadmeadows?
The mix here is unusual: heavy on disability and community services, health and allied health around the hospital precinct, early learning across Broadmeadows, Dallas, Coolaroo and Jacana, retail and food outlets around Broadmeadows Central, council and community facilities in the civic precinct, and light industrial along Maygar Boulevard and Widford Street.
Is there a travel charge?
No, not anywhere in Broadmeadows, Dallas, Coolaroo, Jacana, Westmeadows, Gladstone Park or Attwood, and not anywhere within about 25 kilometres of our base. Beyond that radius we may add a visit fee and we tell you before you book rather than adding it to an invoice afterwards.
What is the minimum contract?
Seven hundred and fifty dollars plus GST a month for recurring commercial work in Victoria. That is higher than our Perth minimum of $650, and the reason is a 3.155 per cent WorkSafe premium for cleaning and a 1.80 per cent portable long service benefits levy that Western Australia does not have. One-off and periodic work has no minimum.
Can you clean a supported accommodation house in Broadmeadows?
Yes, and it is one of the things we do most here. A single house rarely reaches the monthly minimum on its own, so it usually works best where a provider has two or three in the corridor. The approach, the screening and the documentation are set out on our NDIS and disability services cleaning page.
Do you clean homes as well as businesses?
Yes, across the same suburbs. Regular house cleaning is a fixed price per clean from a published table with no surcharge for pets, and exit cleans carry a seven day re-clean guarantee. Both are priced for Melbourne separately from our Western Australian work.
