Professional forensic cleaning and biohazard remediation

Forensic cleaning (also known as biohazard remediation or bio-recovery) is a highly specialised process that involves identifying, removing, sanitising and safely disposing of all hazardous materials from a trauma or contamination site.

Our Melbourne forensic cleaning services include:

• Crime scene cleanup

• Suicide and self-harm cleanup

• Unattended death remediation

• Blood and body fluid removal

• Trauma accident cleanup

• Biohazard decontamination

• Odour and airborne contaminant removal

• Vehicle trauma cleaning

• Property restoration support

• Contaminated material removal and EPA-approved disposal

Every situation is different, so our team assesses each site carefully to determine the safest and most effective approach.

Suicide & unattended death cleanup

We understand how traumatic and overwhelming it is to discover a loved one after a suicide or unattended passing. Once police, paramedics and the Coroner have attended, families are often shocked to discover they are responsible for organising the cleanup, something no one should face alone.

Our advice is simple and firm: do not attempt this cleanup yourself, and do not allow friends or family to help.

Not only is it unsafe, it can result in long-lasting psychological trauma.

TACT Bio-Recovery provides:

• Immediate, discreet assistance

• Compassionate support during a highly emotional time

• Complete decontamination of affected areas

• EPA-compliant removal of all biohazardous materials

• Odour and airborne contaminant treatment

• Coordination of any required trades (plastering, painting, flooring, repairs)

In many cases, we can complete the cleanup within a few hours. If the restoration is more extensive, we can arrange short-term accommodation so you don’t need to remain on-site.

Why forensic cleaning must never be attempted yourself

Most of the danger at a trauma scene cannot be seen with the naked eye. While visible contamination is confronting, the real risks often come from unseen pathogens, vapours, bacteria, mould spores and microscopic biological matter.

Under EPA Victoria regulations, all human bodily fluids and tissues are classified as biohazardous waste. This means blood, bodily fluids, tissue and related contamination must be handled, removed and disposed of by qualified professionals with the correct equipment and permits.

Attempting to clean a trauma or biohazard site without proper training can result in:

• Exposure to infectious materials

• Cross-contamination throughout the property

• Incomplete sanitisation

• Long-term odour and structural damage

• Psychological trauma for family, friends or occupants

TACT Bio-Recovery follows strict industry protocols to ensure the affected area is restored safely, thoroughly and respectfully.

Trauma, accident and crime scene cleanup

Accidents, assaults and crime scenes often leave behind contamination that extends far beyond what is immediately visible. For example, a small stain on a carpet often indicates a much larger area of contamination beneath the surface.

Our forensic technicians are trained to identify hidden risks, remove affected materials safely and restore the area to a hygienic condition. This may include:

• Removing contaminated flooring or carpets

• Sanitising subflooring or structural surfaces

• Treating walls, ceilings and furnishings

• Neutralising odours and microbial growth

• Performing ATP testing to verify cleanliness

Our goal is to ensure no trace of the incident remains — physically, visually or biologically.

Safe transport and disposal of biohazardous waste

EPA Victoria requires biohazardous materials to be transported and disposed of only by licensed operators. TACT Bio-Recovery holds all necessary permits, certifications and training to ensure safe, compliant disposal of:

• Contaminated materials

• Sharps and needles

• Affected possessions

• Biological matter

• Personal items that cannot be restored

We strictly follow EPA, OHS and industry standards at every step.
