If you are thinking about renovating, you must be aware of asbestos. It is important for home owners and renovators to be aware of how to safely manage asbestos in and around the home.
Asbestos was used in the manufacture of more than 3000 building and decorator products. Because of widespread use, asbestos-containing products can be found in any home built or renovated prior to 1990 and in any commercial and non-residential property built or refurbished prior to 2004.
Importantly, if you suspect you have asbestos, Dont cut it! Don’t drill it! Don’t drop it! Don’t sand it! Don’t saw it! Don’t scrape it! Don’t scrub it! Don’t dismantle it! Don’t tip it! Don’t waterblast it! Don’t demolish it! And whatever you do… Don’t dump it!
The Asbestos Awareness website is Australia’s leading comprehensive online resource dedicated to educating homeowners, renovators, tradies and rural and commercial property owners on how to manage asbestos safely in the prevention of asbestos-related diseases and was developed in association with leading health, building and asbestos management experts and government bodies in line with regulations.

Organisations
Thank you to all organisations who have shown support for the national Asbestos Awareness Campaign and asbestosawareness.com.au since launching in 2011. By working together to create awareness of the dangers of asbestos, we are helping to reduce the incidences of asbestos-related diseases throughout Australia.
Councils
The Asbestos Awareness Campaign has worked with Local Governments from across Australia.
Local Governments form the backbone of Australian communities. They provide essential services and are dedicated to improve the health, safety, well-being and living standards of residents.
When the National Asbestos Awareness Campaign launched in NSW in 2011, a number of NSW councils supported the initiative. In 2012, council support continued to grow.
Since rolling the campaign out nationally in 2013, support from Local Governments grew with councils from across Australia supporting the National Asbestos Awareness Campaign.
By 2016, 100% of councils Australia-wide supported the National Asbestos Awareness campaign to help us educate their communities about the dangers of asbestos and how to manage asbestos-containing materials safely and in line with regulations.
In 2020 and 2021, faced with the pandemic, Local Governments throughout Australia have fought hard to protect the health and wellbeing of their communities from the virus and the economic fall-out caused by lockdowns. With resources stretched, the capacity of councils to be actively involved in other health and safety initiatives at this time including the Asbestos Awareness campaign has been limited.
We salute the dedicated efforts of all Local Governments in their activities to improve the health, safety and wellbeing of their communities at home and in the workplace in particular when asbestos safety is concerned.
