The National Guide for Asbestos Surveys was developed by the Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Agency (ASSEA) in consultation with asbestos professionals, industry associations, regulatory authorities and worker representatives.

This guide aims to provide a robust and standardised process for conducting asbestos surveys (also known as asbestos inspections or audits) in buildings and structures across Australia, so that effective actions can be taken to prevent exposure to airborne asbestos fibres.

The ANSP includes an action for governments to develop incentives that encourage the safe removal of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from residential and commercial properties, including housing of Indigenous Australians. This report provides information on 5 main types of incentives, the advantages and disadvantages of each type and examples of these incentive schemes used in Australia and overseas.
