Are My Family And I At Risk?

If your home was constructed before the mid-1980s, it is highly probable that it contains asbestos materials. Properties built between the mid-1980s and 1990 also have a significant likelihood of containing asbestos. Conversely, homes built after 1990 seldom contain asbestos, but it is still wise to verify. Despite the nationwide ban on asbestos in Australia, some unscrupulous companies continue to import suspect building materials, which then enter the supply chain and find their way into homes and workplaces.

Australians have unknowingly been exposed to potentially significant amounts of illegally imported building products containing asbestos, with no records of where this hazardous material has been used and minimal chances of preventing its spread.
