The main aim of the Asbestos Management Review 2012 (AMR) was ‘to make recommendations for the development of a national strategic plan to improve asbestos awareness and management’. While the AMR recommendations laid the foundations for a nationwide response to asbestos management, they necessarily have been, and continue to be, refined in their implementation.

ASEA collected feedback on the draft phase three ANSP over the September and October 2023 consultation period. This infographic summarises the comments we received through workshops, webinars, written submissions and survey responses, that all helped formulate the version of the phase three ANSP. 

The Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Council (ASSEC), provides advice to the Minister and to the CEO of the Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Agency (ASSEA) on the National Strategic Plans for Asbestos and Silica Management and Awareness.

ASEA collaborated with Urbis Pty Ltd to assess the costs and benefits of including proactive asbestos removal in the third phase ANSP. This is consistent with the intent of the three-phased strategy that was originally proposed. The results show clear economic and social benefits of improved regulatory frameworks and government incentives to safely increase proactive asbestos removal rates, that will prevent the death of up to 28,000 Australians from ARDs.
