Licensed Asbestos Removalists in Victoria

Asbestos Removal in Victoria

Asbestos removal in Victoria is regulated by WorkSafe Victoria under the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017. Victoria has some of the strictest asbestos management requirements in Australia. Under the Owners Corporations Act 2006, owners corporations (body corporates) are responsible for maintaining an asbestos register and management plan for common property. Melbourne's post-war housing boom means that suburbs across the northern, western, and south-eastern corridors — including Broadmeadows, Sunshine, Footscray, Dandenong, and Frankston — have high concentrations of asbestos-containing homes. Regional centres like Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, and the Latrobe Valley are similarly affected. Victoria prohibits any person from carrying out asbestos removal work without a licence, with limited exceptions for homeowners removing small amounts of bonded asbestos.
