Every day, students, teachers, and education staff are shaping the future – Downer supports this ambition by keeping primary, secondary and tertiary education environments running smoothly, safely, and sustainably.

With more than 40 years of practical experience behind us, we deliver facility and asset management solutions that are reliable, practical, and built on smart technology. The result is safer, efficient learning spaces where students, staff and communities thrive.

Downer is experienced operating under a variety of contracting models; working side by side with facility owners, staff, and students to shape service models that put people first – enhancing how education communities live, work and learn across schools in New Zealand’s North and South Islands, the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, and Western Australia, as well as the Australian National University (ANU), Deakin University and University of Adelaide.

Whilst educators inspire, we take care of everything else. Integrated services are tailored to each unique setting, from grounds and gardens maintenance, to cleaning, catering, security, and caretaker services. Sustainability is embedded in every service, with energy-efficient systems and water conservation initiatives ensuring minimal impact and maximum value.
