If you have a concern about asbestos related to building, renovation, demolition, maintenance or plumbing work, these organisations can help.
What do you need help with?
I’m planning renovation or demolition work
Before work begins, asbestos must be identified and removed by a licensed professional.
- Get an asbestos assessment
- If asbestos is found, use a licensed asbestos removalist.
A builder or tradesperson isn’t handling asbestos properly
If they’re removing or working with asbestos unsafely, contact WorkSafe Victoria.
If they’ve dumped asbestos waste illegally, report it to EPA Victoria.
I’m concerned about demolition or construction happening near me
If dust or debris from nearby work may contain asbestos, contact WorkSafe Victoria.
If it’s residential work and you’re unsure who’s responsible, contact your local council.
I have a question about building permits or compliance
Contact the Building and Plumbing Commission
I have a plumbing issue involving asbestos pipes
Asbestos cement pipes were common in older plumbing.
If removal is needed, use a licensed asbestos removalist.
For regulatory questions, contact the Building and Plumbing Commission
