A local social enterprise
Filo Cleano was founded by Mirra Bengua, a Filipino migrant, and Jacob Habner, a South Australian local. We started it to open the door to stable, fairly paid work, the step that matters most for people building a new life here.
Our work is guided by three Filipino values: kapwa (shared identity and respect), pakikisama (working well together) and bayanihan (working together for the common good). They shape how we hire, how we train and how we look after clients and our team.
Every dollar you spend with us goes into Award wages and training for people contributing to South Australia. Our social mission is part of our company structure, and we report on our social and community outcomes every year.
You deal with the owners
When you work with Filo Cleano you deal directly with the owners, Mirra and Jacob. No call centre and no scheduler you've never met. If something needs attention, you know exactly who to call, and we'll get back to you the same day.
