A report on the progress of the Asbestos National Strategic Plan 2019–2023. During this reporting period (July 2021 to June 2022), ASSEA achieved Target 9 by launching the National Residential Asbestos Heatmap, which assesses the probability of asbestos presence in the residential environment by geographic area, to inform government asbestos policy. An additional 2 targets were on track, with the remaining targets progressing but requiring ongoing work.

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.
