A safer workplace is built through the everyday actions we take to look out for ourselves and one another. This Safe Work Month, we are encouraging our people to Spot It. Fix It. Share It. Commit to It. These four steps help us spot hazards, respond appropriately and keep safety part of the way we work every day. 

Quick tucks, clever folds and a hopeful call of “Bingo!” Our Housekeeping Week celebrations had a little bit of everything. Across Australia and New Zealand, our ahs hospitality teams came together to showcase their talents, enjoy some friendly competition and celebrate the people who make every stay shine. From beautifully made beds to thoughtful surprises, each activity offered a different way to say thank you.

For more than 33 years, ahs has been trusted to deliver exceptional housekeeping services to hotels across Australia and New Zealand. Behind every perfectly presented room has been a team of passionate people committed to creating outstanding guest experiences.  But over the years, our business has grown beyond hospitality. Today, we support clients across a broader range of environments, delivering commercial cleaning and facilities services with the same operational excellence, trusted people and high standards that have defined ahs from the very beginning. To better reflect who we are today and where we're heading next, we're proud to introduce our refreshed brand.

We are expanding our national network of partners, suppliers and subcontractors as we continue to grow across commercial cleaning and facilities management.

Sometimes, all it takes is one opportunity to change a life. At The Westin Perth, four team members have recently embarked on a new chapter through a partnership between ahs hospitality, The Westin Perth and Hospitality Disability Network WA (HDN WA). What started with an information session has grown into meaningful employment, increased confidence and exciting career opportunities.

With Earth Day this month, it’s a timely reminder that sustainability is driven not only by major innovations, but also by the everyday actions that collectively create meaningful change. In housekeeping and commercial cleaning services, practical sustainability can be embedded in daily operations through smarter resource use, reduced waste, and continuous improvements that support both environmental outcomes and operational efficiency.

At ahs hospitality, Cultural Diversity Week is an opportunity to reflect on what truly makes our teams strong: the people, perspectives and experiences that come together every day across our operations. Housekeeping is one of the most diverse workforces in the hospitality industry. Across our teams, individuals from over 80 nationalities work side by side, bringing unique skills, values and ways of thinking. This diversity is not only part of who we are, it is a key driver of how we deliver consistent, high-quality service. 

With February here and new students preparing to move in, student accommodation providers are entering one of the busiest times of the year. Tight turnaround windows, high occupancy and rising expectations mean every room and shared space needs to feel clean, fresh and ready from day one. A well-planned turnover cleaning approach helps create a positive first impression for incoming residents while protecting the long-term condition of your property. It also ensures a smoother transition between outgoing and new students, making move-in periods far more manageable for on-site teams.

As the hospitality industry moves into 2026, the role of housekeeping continues to evolve. Hotel operators are no longer looking for providers who simply deliver clean rooms, they are seeking strategic housekeeping partners who can support operational efficiency, guest satisfaction, workforce stability, compliance, and sustainability. With ongoing labour challenges, rising guest expectations, and increased focus on sustainability and risk management, housekeeping has become a core driver of overall hotel performance. So what will define a strong housekeeping partnership in 2026?
