A long-term plan for the removal of asbestos from Victorian government-owned buildings

Purpose

The Victorian Asbestos Eradication Agency (VAEA) was established to develop a long-term plan for asbestos removal from Victorian government-owned buildings.

Removing asbestos from these buildings:

  • prevents asbestos exposure
  • reduces the risk of asbestos-related diseases
  • protects Victorian workplaces and communities.

Asbestos

Asbestos was banned because it causes fatal and debilitating diseases. The only way to prevent risk of exposure is to remove asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from the built environment
