About us Founded in 2015, CMC Indigenous Services is a cleaning and property maintenance company. We are specialists in the cleaning and maintenance of offices, retail outlets, commercial buildings, multi-sites, educational and aged care facilities. We are a provider of integrated property maintenance service offerings including; contract cleaning, professional window cleaning, maintenance services, carpet steam cleaning, graffiti removal and property related emergency services such as flood and fire restoration. Whilst in its infancy, CMC Indigenous Services will draw upon the capability and experience of CMC Property Services (CMC Group) to deliver its integrated property maintenance service.
Our Story CMC Indigenous Services is owned by Michael O’Loughlin and Paul McCann. Michael is an accomplished AFL player with a career spanning 20 years and Paul McCann is successful businessman who owns national cleaning and property services company, CMC Property Services (CMC Group). After retiring from a career in the AFL, and in planning for his future, Michael decided to take on a joint venture with Paul where he could establish himself as a business owner in the commercial cleaning and property maintenance industry. The recommendations in the Forrest Review - Creating Parity resonated with both Michael and Paul and they saw a real opportunity to draw on their knowledge, experience and links to the community to not only build a business but help make change. It became evident to Michael and Paul that they could work together to create real opportunities for the Indigenous Australian community in the areas of ownership, business support, training and employment. Paul will act as a business mentor to Michael and Michael as a mentor to Paul on creating links and engaging with the Indigenous Australian Community. CMC Indigenous Services Pty Ltd is Supply Nation certified given its 51% Indigenous ownership.
