Asbestos Businesses in Queensland, Australia
Queensland regulates asbestos under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and WHS Regulation 2011. Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ), part of the Office of Industrial Relations, is the regulator. It issues licences, enforces compliance, and investigates incidents. Queensland adopted the national model WHS laws and publishes approved Codes of Practice on managing and removing asbestos that carry legal weight.
Queensland's asbestos rules are spread across 10 separate statutes administered by different state agencies and local councils, which makes it a wider regulatory web than most jurisdictions. For asbestos-contaminated land, the Department of Environment maintains the Environmental Management Register (EMR) and Contaminated Land Register (CLR) under the Environmental Protection Act 1994. Properties with asbestos in soil may need to be listed, and removing contaminated soil from listed sites requires a Soil Disposal Permit. The state runs a portal at asbestos.qld.gov.au, and all buildings built before 1990 that are used as workplaces must have an asbestos register.
Queensland is part of the ASSEA Asbestos National Strategic Plan 2024-2030. While each state still runs its own regulator and enforcement, the national plan is pushing toward a more consistent approach to proactive asbestos removal across the country.
Licensing
The standard two tiers apply. Class A covers friable asbestos, Class B covers more than 10 square metres of non-friable. Both licences last five years and are issued to the PCBU (person conducting a business or undertaking), not to individuals. Class A supervisors need at least three years of industry experience after completing the relevant removal and supervision competencies. A separate Asbestos Assessor licence is needed for air monitoring and clearance inspections on Class A jobs.
