A long-term plan for the removal of asbestos from Victorian Government-owned buildings

The VAEA’s work will enhance the safety of the Victorian community by planning for the eradication of asbestos from government buildings to reduce the risk of asbestos-related diseases.

Our work focuses on buildings owned by the Victorian Government, including offices, hospitals, train stations, community centres, prisons and TAFEs.

Asbestos is the name given to a group of naturally occurring mineral fibres found in rock formations. All forms of asbestos are carcinogenic to people.
