Cleaning Enhanced Training Requirements from 1 July 2027: 2026 Addendum
New implementation date and module counts
The 13 February 2026 addendum confirms 1 July 2027 for the further enhanced training requirement. Until that change, the two-module requirement introduced by 31 December 2022 remains the reference. Previously completed recognised courses are considered when planning the additional modules.
The addendum recommends basic horizontal-surface, vertical-surface and washroom maintenance for general cleaners; chemical handling for machine operators; supervisory and risk-management capabilities for higher levels. Use the role-mapped endorsed WSQ list, not an arbitrary course. Buyers should allow training during work hours where service standards are maintained, and providers should schedule workers before the deadline.
Role-by-role endorsed competency catalogue
The following tables retain the role group and every distinct endorsed TSC code in the document. Several course names can lead to the same competency code; select the course relevant to actual duties and the required safety/core category. Recognition of equivalents remains subject to the document’s stated conditions.
