Queensland School Cleaners - proud and strong
Queensland school cleaners have been organising their workplaces with the LHMU for more than 50 years.
Cleaners were originally engaged by school principals and generally provided their own cleaning equipment and chemicals. They had little job security and poor conditions of employment.
Approximately 40 - 50 years ago, the Education Department, now Education Queensland, made the decision to take control of the management of school cleaners to ensure improved and consistent service.
LHMU members, employed as school cleaners, have collectively protected and improved their wages and conditions over time through effective enterprise negotiations securing:
- - workers compensation
- - health and safety regulations
- - training
- - anti-discrimination policies
- - superannuation contributions
- This section of the website is designed to provide access to resources addressing the needs of Queensland school cleaners.
