Ignorance about asbestos is the greatest danger.

From our experience we have learned two things:

  1. Information about asbestos is not always accessible or necessarily correct and it needs to be readily available, in an easy to use format with assistance for all, and

  2. We must do all we can to prevent exposure thereby reducing the incidence of asbestos related disease now and in the future

Our simple objectives are:

  • A contact point for sufferers through a network of centres, Australia wide
    (for example jointly with ADFA)
  • To make freely available online - easy to understand awareness information and safe paths to action for all Australians
  • To harness the energy, resources and commitment of like minded people
  • To engage the resources of government, business, unions, community organisations and individuals to assist us to achieve our shared goal of 100% asbestos awareness - nationally - in 5 years.
  • A referral point for service providers (for example Asbestos & You)

We present a number of practical ideas, tasks and actions that we can all be a part of.

These include:

  • Raising the awareness of asbestos with your family, friends and
    colleagues in business and in the community.
  • working together to target the high risk groups who may disturb asbestos containing products. These include:
    • home owner do-it-yourself people
    • trades people - contractors who may work in or on your home
    • Builders undertaking renovations
  • become a participating partner to raise awareness of asbestos in your community.
    If you are a government organisation, business union or community organisation
    you can become a participating partner and make a difference.
  • ways you can assist in sponsoring the 100% asbestos awareness goal
    by providing resources to get the message around.
  • continuous development - we invite any organisation to use this website as a point of contact for increasing the awareness by the community on their asbestos related research and initiatives.
