Asbestos Removal in South Australia

Asbestos removal in South Australia is regulated by SafeWork SA under the Work Health and Safety Regulations 2012. South Australia has a direct connection to the asbestos industry — the town of Wittenoom in Western Australia supplied raw asbestos to manufacturers, but many asbestos cement products were manufactured at the James Hardie factory at Birkenhead in Adelaide's inner west, and distributed widely across South Australian homes. Suburbs across Adelaide including Elizabeth, Salisbury, Campbelltown, and Marion have a high proportion of homes built with fibro and asbestos cement products between the 1950s and 1980s. Regional centres like Mount Gambier, Port Augusta, Whyalla, and Murray Bridge also have significant asbestos-containing housing stock. SafeWork SA requires all licensed removal work to be notified five days before commencement. Use the filters below to find a licensed removalist near you.
