Renovating? Doing any other work on your house? Visit Asbestos Awareness first
Australia has one of the highest rates of asbestos related diseases in the world. With almost every home built or renovated before the mid 1980s likely to contain asbestos in one form or another, the third wave of people affected by mesothelioma (an incurable asbestos-related cancer) has recently become evident and will continue to rise unless Australians start taking seriously the dangers of asbestos when renovating or maintaining their homes.
