Manhattan Maids is proud to announce that we have been named a Finalist in the Cleaning Services category at the 2026 Australian Small Business Champion Awards.
This national recognition celebrates the dedication, professionalism and service excellence that our team delivers every day to homes, Airbnb properties and corporate housing clients across Australia.
Industry Recognition
The Australian Small Business Champion Awards are one of the country’s most respected small business award programs, recognising businesses that demonstrate outstanding service, innovation, growth and community contribution.
Being selected as a finalist places Manhattan Maids among a group of high-performing Australian small businesses setting benchmarks within their industries.
Cleaning Services Category
Manhattan Maids has been recognised in the Cleaning Services category, reflecting our commitment to raising standards within the domestic and short-stay cleaning industry.
Since our establishment, we have focused on introducing structure, quality assurance and professionalism to an industry that has traditionally operated without consistent service standards.
Our approach includes:
- A Same Maid Service Continuity Model, ensuring clients receive consistent, personalised service
- Dedicated Quality Manager for each client to maintain high cleaning standards
- Structured onboarding and training processes for all contractors
- Proprietary Airbnb Cleaning Standards and audit systems designed to improve hygiene and consistency in the short-stay accommodation sector
Our Mission
Manhattan Maids was founded with a clear mission: to make life easier for busy households while creating flexible and sustainable income opportunities for women.
Today the business supports a network of independent contractors across Perth, Dunsborough, Sydney, the Gold Coast and Melbourne.
We are particularly proud of our strong community focus, supporting a predominantly female and migrant workforce, and helping many independent contractors build sustainable small businesses of their own.
Awards Night
The winners of the 2026 Australian Small Business Champion Awards will be announced at the official presentation evening held at The Star Sydney on 1 May 2026.
The event brings together outstanding small businesses from across Australia to celebrate innovation, resilience and excellence in the small business sector.
Being recognised as a finalist is a proud milestone for Manhattan Maids and a reflection of the incredible team and clients who support our journey.
