Asbestos in Sydney homes
Sydney's federation, inter-war and post-war housing stock contains asbestos in fibro, eaves, wet areas and roofing. In 2024, asbestos-contaminated mulch found in parks and public spaces across Greater Sydney also raised awareness of contaminated landscaping materials.
Some homes in southern NSW, including Queanbeyan, were insulated with loose-fill asbestos. NSW keeps a public register of affected properties.

For over a decade, EnviroForce is proud to lead the asbestos testing services provider in all of Australia and especially in Sydney.
