Community Minded
People are at the heart
of everything we do
For more than 37 years, we’ve been committed to creating cleaner, healthier workplaces across Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. While we’ve grown, one belief has remained unchanged: people come first. From our passionate team to the clients who trust us and the communities we’re part of, we always put people first.
Our responsibility goes beyond the spaces we maintain. That’s why we’re proud to support initiatives that help vulnerable children, women, local communities and the environment. These are opportunities to make a positive difference in the places we’re proud to call home. It’s also why we believe we clean with more care.
Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)
AMC Commercial Cleaning has formally commenced its reconciliation journey with the launch of its Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). This marks the first step in a long-term commitment to building genuine understanding, stronger relationships and meaningful engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We have established Kurrajong AMC Commercial Cleaning WA, the first Aboriginal enterprise of AMC Commercial Cleaning in Western Australia. Led by Alexander Butchart, a First Nations Australian, this initiative reflects our commitment to building meaningful partnerships and supporting reconciliation through action.
OUR CURRENT COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
Victorian Aboriginal Childcare and Community Agency (VACCA)
AMC supports the Victorian Aboriginal Childcare and Community Agency through its Cultural Camp program for Aboriginal youth in out-of-home care. The camps give children and young people the opportunity to connect with Culture, Country, Elders and each other in a safe and supportive environment.
For children in foster care, this connection can be a powerful experience. The program helps build identity, confidence and pride, while strengthening their sense of belonging within the community.
VACCA has been safeguarding the rights of Aboriginal children and families for more than 47 years. Through this partnership, AMC supports VACCA’s work to help children and young people heal, grow and build strong pathways for the future.
Each year, AMC’s Victorian team also comes together to donate new toys for Aboriginal children in VACCA’s foster care towards a special Christmas appeal. It has become a valued staff-led program, bringing our people together to support children and help create moments of joy during the festive season.
"Many of our cultural programs don’t receive government funding and are reliant on support from our donors and partner organisations to continue. Partnerships with organisations like AMC Commercial Cleaning enable us to continue to provide vital cultural supports, like our camps, to young people"
Barnardos Aotearoa
In New Zealand we support Barnardos Aotearoa who make homes and communities safer places for children to live, learn and thrive. With our support for Barnardos’ mentoring programme, Footsteps To Feeling Safe, we help children and teenagers overcome the challenges faced by exposure to family violence. With our annual fundraising efforts, we help rebuild the self-esteem and confidence of kids around the country.
Our legacy to community partnerships
Children’s Cancer Institute
The Children’s Cancer Institute is Australia’s only independent medical research institute dedicated entirely to childhood cancer research, with a sole focus on curing childhood cancer and improving long-term outcomes and quality of life for survivors.
Over recent years, we have supported this critical mission through structured community investment and employee engagement initiatives aligned to our broader ESG and social impact commitments. This has included participation in targeted fundraising initiatives such as the CEO Dare, corporate support of the Diamond Ball, staff engagement and volunteering activities, and the integration of cause-related marketing into our broader purpose and stakeholder engagement strategy.
“It is an honour and a privilege to have been recognised by Her Excellency The Hon. Margaret Beazley, Governor of New South Wales with the Benefactor’s Award for AMC Commercial Cleaning’s commitment to Childhood Cancer Research over the years.”
- Stephen Coade, Founder.
AMC Indigenous Scholarships
From 2018 to 2022, we were proud supporters of the St Kilda Football Club Next Generation Academy Indigenous Program. Designed to identify and develop emerging talent, the program helped create more opportunities for Indigenous and multicultural young people to participate in AFL and pursue their potential both on and off the field.
In partnership with the AFL and St Kilda Football Club, we established the AMC Indigenous Scholarships. Each year, 15 young Indigenous footballers from Melbourne’s Bayside region received scholarships to join the AFL Next Generation Academy and access training, mentoring and development opportunities.
Alongside the scholarships, the AMC Indigenous Cadetship, delivered in partnership with St Kilda FC and AFL Ready, provided an Indigenous school leaver each year with valuable hands-on work experience within a professional sporting environment.
In 2022, three of the AMC scholars, Jack Peris, Josiah Kyle and Marcus Windhager were drafted into AFL making us proud. Marcus Windhager went on to be awarded the Trevor Barker cup for emerging player of the year.
