Work and Smile at Curtin University

Aug 14, 2025

At Curtin University, operations don’t just run – they thrive. That’s thanks to a dedicated team who work hard, lead with heart, and take pride in delivering every task with a smile.

Curtin is the flagship Public-Private Partnership (PPP) contract for Programmed Facility Management in Western Australia, proudly led by Wayne Phillips. It’s a site that sets the benchmark for effective facilities management – consistent, efficient, and always people-first.

From open communication to the pride they take in their work, the Curtin team shows that excellence isn’t the exception — it’s business as usual, and it’s always delivered with a smile.
