Other government resources for managing asbestos
The Heads of Workplace Safety Authorities (HWSA) Rapid Response Protocol has been developed to enable government agencies to work cooperatively and efficiently across jurisdictions. The protocol can be initiated when products have been identified as containing asbestos and there are concerns that such products might or have entered the Australian market.
For more information about the HWSA Rapid Response Protocol and specific asbestos alerts, see
ASSEA.
The following is a contact list for other government agencies in Australia that are responsible for asbestos policy and compliance issues.
