When removing bonded asbestos that is less than 10m2, an asbestos license is not required. However, it is essential to adhere to all aspects of the Code of Practice ‘How to Safely Remove Asbestos,’ including following the requirements for disposal, methods, personal protective equipment (PPE), and tools. It should be noted that an asbestos removalist with the appropriate class of license must perform the removal of all friable asbestos and bonded asbestos greater than 10m2.

The Asbestos Diseases Foundation of Australia (ADFA) advises against removing asbestos from your home yourself and strongly recommends seeking the assistance of a professional team to take care of all your asbestos needs.
