Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about asbestos and dust disease claims

How do I know if I was exposed to asbestos? +
Asbestos was widely used in Australian construction, manufacturing, and mining until the late 1980s. If you worked in these industries or lived in older buildings, you may have been exposed. A medical assessment can confirm related conditions.
How long after exposure can symptoms appear? +
Asbestos-related diseases can take 10 to 40 years to develop after initial exposure. If you have a history of exposure, regular health monitoring is recommended.
Can I claim if my employer no longer exists? +
Yes. There are mechanisms in place to pursue claims even if the responsible employer has ceased to exist, including claims against insurers and government schemes.
Is there a time limit on asbestos claims? +
Time limits vary depending on the type of claim and when you became aware of your condition. In some cases, special provisions extend the limitation period for dust disease claims. Seek legal advice as soon as possible.
