  • ASEA Report Asbestos in Re
    Foreword Australia’s past use of asbestos in our building products has resulted in an asbestos problem that all levels of government and the community are working to address. This is particularly true in remote Australia. Asbestos waste and disused buildings have been identified in many remote Indigenous communities. Based on the age of buildings in remote Australia, remote communities also face the problem of asbestos products in ageing infrastructure. Asbestos containing material is found in many community buildings such as churches, housing and public offices, which if not managed safety, can degrade and become friable. This is our asbestos legacy. These are unique challenges for remote Australian communities, and the Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency commissioned this report to highlight and better understand this challenge. This issue was raised in the Asbestos Management Review Report released in 2012, and working with the Asbestos Safety and Eradication Council and state and territory governments, I have worked to ensure this issue continues to receive attention so that we can identify how it can be best addressed. Legacy asbestos in remote Australian communities is a significant issue that impacts Indigenous Australians and requires a targeted approach. In order to look towards ways in which this legacy issue can be managed in a sustainable way, the Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency consulted with remote community stakeholders including land councils; Indigenous community stakeholders; regional, territory, state and Australian government representatives, as well as other stakeholders to bring together their diverse experiences. The aim of this research was to document asbestos management practices and issues in remote Australia and highlight where stakeholders are working towards addressing this challenge, and this report highlights some of the promising solutions being implemented.
