About us

Providing innovation to businesses across Australia for almost 40 years

The Advanced Group is a market leader in the provision of commercial cleaning, temporary fencing, site security, environmental services, landscaping, and trolley collection for a wide range of companies both big and small throughout Australia.

Our company was established almost four decades ago and began with two divisions:  commercial cleaning and trolley services. Since then, we have continuously expanded our scope of services to now include temporary fencing for both the construction and events industries, environmental services which provide specialist solutions to the civil construction, mining and gas sectors, as well as landscaping, water barriers and site security.

In addition to this comprehensive service offering, we are proud to have a team of in-house specialists who are highly experienced in their respective fields. Our team is dedicated to working collaboratively together to ensure that clients receive only the highest quality service possible. We employ advanced equipment and techniques that enable us to carry out our work efficiently, while still providing excellent results. Moreover, we always strive to stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and trends in order to offer our customers innovative solutions tailored to their needs.

We are committed to delivering an outstanding customer experience that sets us apart from competitors in the industry. From timely response times to ongoing customer support, we are devoted to ensuring that each client receives exceptional value for money through reliable service delivery every time. Furthermore, our commitment extends beyond our clients, with an unwavering dedication towards protecting the environment by adhering to sustainable practices wherever possible.

At our company, we understand that achieving success is about much more than simply offering top-notch services: it’s about forging strong relationships built on trust and mutual respect between us and our customers. Through this approach, we continually strive towards fulfilling our mission of providing dependable, efficient solutions for all your needs.
