Access needs to be arranged directly with the tenant, with appropriate notice as required under Victorian tenancy law, which makes early planning more important than for an owner-occupied sale where access is straightforward and immediate.
It's worth being clear about what standard is realistic while tenants are still living in the property day to day, a full pre-sale presentation clean the day before photography or the first open inspection tends to work better than trying to maintain show-home condition throughout an entire campaign.
Coordinating timing between the tenant, the agent and the cleaning crew so the property is freshly cleaned close to key campaign dates, without unreasonable disruption to the people living there, is the practical balance most successful tenanted sales strike.
