Sometimes asbestos is found in a product that has already been imported into Australia. ASSEA publishes safety alerts and provides links to recalls helping the public be aware of any possible asbestos risk.
When prohibited asbestos products enter Australia the Australian Border Force (ABF), work health and safety regulators and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) work together to trace imports and commence remediation.
National asbestos safety alerts and consumer product recalls are published below.
Please visit the website of your state or territory's work health and safety regulator for relevant safety alerts in your jurisdiction.
