Why It Matters Asbestos was widely used in Australian construction until the late 1980s and banned in 2003. Disturbing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) during renovations or maintenance can release dangerous fibres into the air, leading to serious health risks like:

• Mesothelioma

• Asbestosis

• Lung cancer

🏠 Where Asbestos May Be Found

• Roofing, eaves, and gutters

• Wall sheeting and insulation

• Vinyl flooring and adhesives

• Fencing and garages

• Fire doors and pipe lagging

If your property was built or renovated before 1990, assume asbestos may be present.
