Asbestos licensing

WorkSafe recommends you make your own enquiries about the standard of work conducted by all service providers, including licensed asbestos assessors. While those listed are licensed with either WorkSafe WA or the equivalent regulator in another state or territory at the time of publishing, WorkSafe does not provide a service guarantee. This list is provided as a customer service, based on contact information provided by the licence holders and is correct at the date of publication.

This list will be periodically updated. If you are an LAA on this list and would like your details changed or if you are an LAA that would like to be added to/removed from the list please contact safety@demirs.wa.gov.au 

The holder of a current, equivalent licence issued under a corresponding WHS law can work in Western Australian without the need for a separate licence to be issued in this State. This includes the holder of a Class A asbestos removal licence issued in NSW.

If you have an equivalent licence issued in another State or Territory, you are precluded from applying for a licence in Western Australia. Applicants for a Western Australian licence:

• cannot hold an equivalent licence under a corresponding WHS law; and
• must reside in the state or territory where the application is made.

Yes. There is now recognition of equivalent asbestos removal licences, meaning you can work in all states and territories which have adopted the WHS laws and hold the appropriate asbestos licence issued by any of those states and territories.
