Licensed Asbestos Removalists in Western Australia

Asbestos Removal in Western Australia

Asbestos removal in Western Australia is regulated by WorkSafe WA (part of the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety) under the Work Health and Safety (General) Regulations 2022. WA has a particularly significant asbestos legacy — the now-closed Wittenoom mine in the Pilbara was Australia's only blue asbestos (crocidolite) mine, and asbestos cement products were extensively used in residential construction across the state. Perth suburbs including Girrawheen, Balga, Morley, Gosnells, and Rockingham have high numbers of homes containing asbestos materials, as do regional centres like Bunbury, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, and Albany. WA transitioned to harmonised work health and safety laws in 2022, aligning its asbestos regulations with the national model. Removalists must hold a current licence and notify WorkSafe WA before commencing removal work. Use the filters below to find a licensed removalist near you.
