T2M is St Kilda Community Housing’s (SCH) maintenance social enterprise
Established in 2011 to allow SCH to manage maintenance requirements across our 21 properties, the business has also been used to provide employment opportunities to interested tenants.
The number of employees who are tenants has typically hovered around 50% and these employees have been filled roles as gardeners, cleaners, maintenance staff and painters. T2M has been continually developing the range of services that they deliver to ensure they are able to meet the ongoing needs of SCH and also to provide services to external clients, both within and outside the housing sector. These external clients have contracted us because they have confidence in our ability to deliver on projects and provide ongoing maintenance support.

Installing safety guards, anti-slip and handrails
As a property owner we understand the need to ensure that tenants are safe at all times. One of the biggest risks is tenants slipping or falling due to uneven or slippery surfaces. Our maintenance staff can install handrails, anti slip solutions and safety guards that will help to minimise the risk to your tenants and your organisation.
Where necessary we contract in qualified experts. Particularly, in the areas of Plumbing and Electrical.
