Why Asbestos Testing Matters in the Hunter and Newcastle Region

Homes and buildings built before 1990 across Newcastle, Port Stephens, and the Hunter region often contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). When disturbed, these materials can release harmful asbestos fibres — known to cause mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer.

Asbestos may be hiding in:

• Wall sheeting or eaves

• Vinyl floor tiles or adhesives

• Roof sheeting and insulation

• Fencing panels or backing boards

• Soil from historical fill or illegal disposal

If you suspect asbestos is present, testing is the only way to confirm it safely.
