How can we help?

The Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency coordinates national actions to encourage and improve asbestos awareness and the effective and safe management, removal and disposal of asbestos. It can provide assistance and advice but it is not a regulator.

If there is an asbestos safety emergency or you have other workplace safety, DIY, environmental or health concerns regarding asbestos please contact the relevant authority in your jurisdiction by clicking on the banner.

We can also direct you to the right authority by calling 1300 326 148. You may also find the information and advice you need by visiting the FAQ’s page.
