As the year draws to an end, the ISSA Oceania team would like to thank all members, sponsors and partners for their support throughout 2022.
It has been another successful year for the ISSA community. Without a doubt, the highlight of the year was the ISSA Cleaning & Hygiene Expo, as we were able to get together as an industry and celebrate our achievements over the past two years.
We look forward to what 2023 will bring as we continue to move forward and plan how we can best support, educate and connect the cleaning industry in the Oceania region.
From the ISSA Oceania team and the Advisory Council, we wish you a joyous holiday season!
Kind regards,
Lauren Micallef
ISSA Oceania Manager

Office spaces: Is your business set up to protect people from germs?
As Australia continues to open and lift all COVID-19 border restrictions, latest research from Reckitt indicates 74 per cent of Australian consumers remain concerned about the spread of germs.
According to data from the ABS, in April 2022, despite more people working from home than at the start of the pandemic, more than half (53.8 per cent) of Australians hadn’t worked at least one day a week from home in the previous four weeks, indicating that for many, a return to office work is now the norm.
Here are some steps you can take to help ensure your space, and team, are protected.
