About Emera

We are a founder-led facility services company protecting brands across Australia.

At EMERA, we believe hygiene is not just cleaning. It is about protection, people and brand.

Our story

It started in a living room in 2020.

We started Emera in 2020, while the country was shut down for COVID. We ran it from our living room, with a handful of clients and no office.

  • Founder-run since 2020. Dini leads business development, and Ravi leads operations.
  • Melbourne and Sydney offices. In Lynbrook VIC and the CBD.
  • Cleaning you don't have to chase. The same crew, a supervisor on every shift and a record of every clean.

How we work

How every site is run.

The same way at a food factory, a childcare centre or a warehouse.

  • The same crew each visit

    We roster the same people to your site, so they learn its layout and routines. When someone is sick or on leave, we cover the shift.

  • A supervisor on every shift

    A supervisor runs each shift, checks the work against your site's checklist and answers for it.

  • A record of every clean

    Cleaners clock in on our app, work through your site's checklist and take before and after photos. The report comes to you when the job is done.

  • Misses logged and fixed

    Tell your supervisor or call us. We log the miss, fix it and work out why it happened, so it doesn't keep coming back.

  • Early warning when plans change

    If a cleaner is running late, we tell your site or production manager straight away, before it affects your start.

  • Founders you can reach

    If you want to talk to a founder, call or email us and ask for Dini or Ravi.

About Emera

Questions people ask about who we are.

Who runs Emera, how long we've been going and who looks after your site.

Who runs Emera, and can we talk to the founders?

Emera's founders, Dini Abeykoon and Ravi Waidyanatha, run the business. They started it in a living room in 2020 and still lead it. Dini leads business development and Ravi leads operations.

Yes, you can talk to them. Call or email us and ask for Dini or Ravi.

Who answers for the cleaning at our site, so we don't have to chase anyone?

Your Emera supervisor does. They run each shift, check the work against your site's checklist and answer for it. The same crew is rostered to your site, so they learn how it runs.

Managing the cleaners is our job, so it stops being yours. If something isn't right, you tell one person, and we log it and fix it.

Will the same cleaners come to our site each time, even when someone is sick?

Yes. Emera rosters the same crew to your site, so they learn its layout and routines instead of starting fresh each visit.

If someone is sick or on leave, we cover the shift and brief the replacement on your site. Sick days are our problem to solve, not yours.

How will we know the cleaning was done, without checking it ourselves?

You get a report from Emera's app after every clean. The cleaner clocks in, works through your site's checklist and takes before and after photos, and someone from your team can sign the job off.

Each report is a dated record of what was cleaned and who cleaned it, so the proof is there when an auditor asks. See how we prove the work was done.
