Licensed Asbestos Removalists in New South Wales

Asbestos Removal in New South Wales

Asbestos removal in New South Wales is regulated by SafeWork NSW under the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017. NSW has one of the highest concentrations of asbestos-containing buildings in Australia — an estimated one in three homes built before 1987 contains some form of asbestos material. This is particularly common across Sydney's western suburbs, the Hunter Valley, Illawarra, and regional centres like Dubbo, Orange, and Tamworth, where fibro homes were widely constructed from the 1940s through the 1980s. All asbestos removal work exceeding 10 square metres must be carried out by a licensed removalist, and a licensed asbestos assessor must issue a clearance certificate before a work area can be reoccupied. SafeWork NSW maintains a public register of licensed removalists. Use the filters below to find a licensed removalist near you.
