Asbestos Businesses in Tasmania, Australia
Tasmania regulates asbestos under the Work Health and Safety Act 2012 and WHS Regulations 2022, both administered by WorkSafe Tasmania. WorkSafe Tasmania combines the former Workplace Standards and WorkCover Tasmania, so it covers workplace safety, licensing, and asbestos compensation all under one roof.
Tasmania has a standalone compensation scheme for asbestos-related diseases under the Asbestos-Related Diseases (Occupational Exposure) Compensation Act 2011. Administered by the WorkCover Board, it covers workers who develop an asbestos-related disease from occupational exposure in Tasmania and extends to their families. There is also growing concern in the state about "third wave" asbestos victims, people exposed not through work but through home renovations or contact with deteriorating asbestos in older buildings. The Asbestos Free Tasmania Foundation provides education and support for affected workers and community members.
Tasmania is a signatory to the ASSEA National Strategic Plan 2024-2030. The national plan is pushing all states toward safer, more proactive removal of ageing asbestos, and Tasmania's framework is broadly consistent with the national model.
Licensing
Tasmania follows the national model. Class A is for friable asbestos, Class B for more than 10 square metres of non-friable. Removing less than 10 square metres of non-friable does not need a licence, though safe procedures still apply. Class A applicants must have a certified safety management system compliant with ISO 45001 or equivalent. All licences last five years and applications go through Service Tasmania.
