Barker Property Services
A relationship-driven commercial cleaning and consultancy business delivering reliable outcomes across diverse environments.
Company story
A family-founded company built on a simple model: what we promise, we deliver.
Barker Property Services was founded by Ian and Justine Barker and has grown into a respected Melbourne provider known for personal service, responsiveness and quality of work. Managing Director Ian Barker has transitioned more than five million square metres of commercial, educational and industrial space in some of Australia’s most prestigious buildings — and BPS was built to deliver that calibre of service with an owner’s attention on every contract.
Today BPS maintains more than 60 commercial buildings and 250 tenancies across Melbourne for clients in the commercial, education, hospitality and government sectors. We run dedicated site teams with structured supervision, commission brand-new equipment at every contract commencement, and evidence the standard daily through BPS Pulse. We are professional infrastructure with a personal touch — large enough to manage major contracts, close enough that clients deal directly with the people whose name is on the company.
Compliance & credentials
Credentials that hold up in procurement.
$20 million public liability insurance and WorkCover coverage, with certificates of currency available on request. Licensed labour hire provider with the Labour Hire Authority Victoria. All staff are directly employed under the Cleaning Services Award (MA000022), with portable long service leave administered through CoINVEST.
Every team member holds a police check, with Working with Children Checks held across our education-facing workforce. BPS maintains Modern Slavery compliance, contractor management compliance through Rapid Global, and a documented OH&S system with current SWMS, JSA and SDS records and scheduled toolbox meetings.
