What we offer

A dedicated partner to New Zealand and Australian education

With over 25 years’ experience, ISS is a long-term steward of the education sectors in New Zealand and Australia. We know that a campus is a high-pressure environment with shifting needs. Our teams are more than a service workforce; they are an integrated part of the campus community, dedicated to protecting the safety and wellbeing of students and staff.

By self-delivering our core services, we provide a single point of accountability. This ensures faster response times for urgent repairs, consistently prepared facilities, and student accommodation that feels like a home away from home for tertiary students.

how we deliver

On-campus expertise in action

Our teams work directly on-site, giving us the visibility to identify risks early and resolve issues before they disrupt the teaching cycle.

Rapid incident response: Onsite supervisors use real-time digital reporting to log and rectify hazards or spills within minutes.

Asset longevity: Preventive maintenance schedules protect campus infrastructure and reduce unplanned capital expenditure.

High-traffic hygiene: Specialised cleaning protocols keep libraries, study hubs and amenities maintained during peak exam or event periods.

Timetable-aligned delivery: Cleaning and maintenance are coordinated around classes, assessment blocks and graduation events.

Safe spaces that inspire learning

We maintain environments that support calm, focused learning and uphold strict duty-of-care expectations.

Science-led hygiene: Through our Pure Space™ methodology, we focus on high-touch surfaces including desks and shared technology, using ATP testing to verify hygiene levels.

Safeguarding and compliance: Every ISS employee on campus completes mandatory Police Checks or Working with Children Checks (WWCC) and education-specific safety inductions. Our staff are trained to be a discreet, reliable and protective presence.

Residential excellence: In tertiary settings, we manage comprehensive housekeeping and maintenance for student accommodation, ensuring secure spaces that support both study and wellbeing.
