Productivity
starts with presenteeism.

Sick leave costs Australian workplaces an estimated $7B+ annually. UV-C disinfection of hot desks, meeting rooms, kitchens, and shared bathrooms is a measurably effective way to reduce workplace-acquired respiratory illness.

Industry Context

The case for proactive disinfection

Most offices clean for appearance and treat the underlying hygiene as a secondary concern. UV Sterile inverts that — we treat the hygiene primarily and let the visible cleaning happen on its existing schedule. Workplaces report measurable reductions in winter sick-leave after introducing regular UV-C programs.

Pathogens of Concern

What we're treating, specifically.

01

Common cold & flu

Single biggest driver of unplanned workplace absence.

02

Gastro

Travels rapidly through shared kitchens and bathrooms.

03

Air quality

Recirculated air in sealed buildings concentrates bioaerosols.

04

Surface contamination

Hot desks see dozens of users monthly without deep disinfection.

Use Cases

How UV Sterile fits your operation.

After-hours full floor

Treat the entire open-plan floor after staff leave — meeting rooms, desks, kitchens, breakout spaces.

Meeting room reset

Hourly treatment cycles for high-use meeting rooms during business hours, when empty between bookings.

Hot desk turnover

End-of-day hot desk disinfection in co-working environments where the same desk sees a different user every day.

Quarterly deep treatment

Full facility including server rooms, mail rooms, archive spaces, and rarely-cleaned zones.

Compliance

Workplace health and safety.

Treatment supports your obligations under Work Health and Safety legislation, particularly the duty to provide a safe and healthy working environment. Documented hygiene programs are increasingly referenced in EBA negotiations and union consultation processes.

Frequently Asked

Questions, answered.

Do you need keys or access cards for after-hours work?

Yes — we coordinate with your facilities team or building management. Our operators are insured and security-cleared on request.

Can you treat without disturbing employees' desks?

Yes. We treat around items left on desks — UV-C reaches around objects rather than requiring clear surfaces. We just need keyboards uncovered and obvious items moved aside.

Will the treatment damage screens or office electronics?

At our exposure times, no. Standard office equipment is unaffected.

How frequently should our office be treated?

Most offices opt for monthly or fortnightly programs. High-density co-working spaces benefit from weekly treatment of communal areas.
