National Asbestos Awareness Week (21-27 November) 2022 (NAAW 2022) reminds Australians again to Think Twice About Asbestos and encourages home occupiers and tradespeople to ‘do it the right way’ by ensuring the proper and lawful disposal of asbestos.

Our focus this year is on preventing the intentional illegal dumping of asbestos and the often-unintentional improper disposal of asbestos waste in kerbside bins. 

The stakeholder campaign pack encourages the use of consistent and recognisable imagery and messaging from stakeholders.

A national survey to measure progress towards its Asbestos National Strategic Plan targets — evaluating knowledge, attitudes, behaviours and information needs regarding asbestos risks in 2022. This factsheet outlines the national key findings.

The Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency has released its 2021–22 annual report for its activities to 30 June 2022.

This report examines mid-term progress in implementing the National Strategic Plan for Asbestos Awareness and Management 2019–2023. Progress against all 9 targets is assessed in this report. It also highlights the challenges identified in meeting some targets, and where incomplete or inconsistent data has made an accurate assessment difficult.

We offer a broad range of challenging, rewarding and flexible employment opportunities.

Our advisory committees provide insight and advice to support the implementation of our National Strategic Plan and assist ASSEA with the performance of its functions.
