In 2015, the NSW Government launched the Voluntary Purchase and Demolition Program to address the issue of loose-fill asbestos insulation in NSW residential homes. The program and its associated assistance package is designed to help NSW residents by locating and remediating properties affected by loose-fill asbestos insulation. The NSW Government also introduced a number of new laws to identify properties affected by loose-fill asbestos insulation and to protect residents, workers and communities.
