Sydney contains some of Australia’s oldest residential, commercial and industrial building stock, with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) still present in many properties constructed before 1990. From renovation projects in the Inner West and Northern Beaches to maintenance work in commercial buildings throughout Parramatta and the Sydney CBD, workers across New South Wales can encounter asbestos during routine construction, maintenance and refurbishment activities.
The nationally recognised 11084NAT Course in Asbestos Awareness helps Sydney workers identify asbestos-containing materials, understand associated health risks and apply safe work practices when asbestos may be present. Delivered by AlertForce, this course aligns with SafeWork NSW guidance and supports employers in meeting their obligations under NSW work health and safety legislation.
Course Overview
What You'll Learn
The 11084NAT Course in Asbestos Awareness provides essential training on identifying, managing and working safely around asbestos-containing materials in Australian workplaces. With thousands of Sydney homes, commercial buildings and industrial sites still containing legacy asbestos products, this course equips workers with practical knowledge to recognise hazards, understand exposure risks and follow appropriate control measures before work begins.

NSW Requirement
Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW) and the NSW WHS Regulation 2025, employers must provide appropriate information, instruction and training where workers may be exposed to asbestos risks. Construction, maintenance, demolition and refurbishment workers may encounter asbestos-containing materials in a wide range of Sydney workplaces.
The 11084NAT Course in Asbestos Awareness supports these obligations by helping workers identify asbestos-containing materials, understand asbestos registers and management plans, recognise exposure risks and apply appropriate controls. Workers seeking further guidance can also read our articles on when asbestos was used in homes and how to identify it, the new laws around asbestos and how often your team should update asbestos awareness training in ACT and NSW.

“Did a CPR refresher. Reminded me of the things I'd missed or forgotten about. Got it done and got out. Highly recommend. Of the 10 or so of these I've done, this is the first that actually felt like a useful refresher and not just trying to stay awake to check the boxes.”
“The AlertForce course for Enter and Work in Confined Spaces was very comprehensive and informative. John is a very experienced worker and instructor, which enhanced the training experience for all of the class, he answered all our questions from both the health and safety, and legal perspective, and would also use his own real-world experiences to demonstrate the answers. Thank you AlertForce Team and John, I'll recommend your courses to anybody who's looking for training.”
“Adam did a great job on silica and asbestos training, he was very thorough and the course well presented”
“Thank you for a great First Aid and CPR course. The training was well organised, informative, and easy to follow. I appreciated the hands-on practice,theories and clear explanations. I feel much more confident in my first aid skills. Thank you for a positive learning experience.l definitely recommend to anyone its amazing experience thanks Alana for taking us through the course”
“Rahul Sharman is the man! Highly recommended training for asbestos awareness.”
“Registered training organisation. Provided good training on Asbestos awareness”
“Great training. Matt explained the silica and asbestos topics clearly and made it easy to understand. Very useful and relevant for site work.”
“Great training RTO for white card”
“Had my white card training today and it was an excellent experience all round. Being the only female in the group I was nervous at first, but everyone was so friendly (I don't think I touched a door once today lol) and welcoming. The instructor (shout out to Craig) was really interesting and friendly and made the course really engaging, time flew by! I 100% recommend these guys and will be going back soon to complete my working at heights certification.”
“Helped with learning new skills and techniques and learning stuff to go out to the force into the traffic control area”
“I was very nervous about doing my forklift training but Craig our instructor made me feel comfortable and confident. I highly recommend Alert Force for training. If you do your forklift training I hope you get Craig he is great to work with!”
“Fantastic, open and friendly atmosphere. Craig Hindle was knowledgeable and approachable. 10/10 Forklift Training, couldn't recommend better.”
“My instructor Craig Hindle is the best. He is very professional and high skilled on his expertise especially teaching on how to drive a forklift. I am very grateful that he is my instruction. If you want to get your forklift licence, I highly recommended tp enrol at Alertforce”
“Great experience completing my forklift course with Alert Force. The training was clear and practical. Instructor John Sanderson was very professional, patient, and easy to learn from. Highly recommend”
“The training was clear and easy to follow, also the assessor was very helpful and made everyone comfortable. Highly recommending Alert force for anyone needing their White Card.”
“Did my white card with trainer Craig, he was awesome, took time to explain a couple things for us slower learners, didn't over complicate the course was very straight Would recommend 100%”
“Kevin was really approachable and had a great sense of humour which provided a relaxed environment to learn in. I appreciated how he kept everyone engaged. Kevin was really good at applying theory into practice and allowing us to share our own WHS / HSR experiences so we could learn from each other. A big thank you to Kevin.”
“Did my Whitecard, Asbestos, Silica, and Working at Heights. All classes were informative, and succinct. The instructors were great, especially John, who did my working safely at heights.”
“Excellent course, I'm saying this because unless like most courses that are just plain boring. This course was run By Matt who I think is a great educator, he explains information in a way that's not just educational but also relevant to today's work practices, his insight and depth of knowledge shows his years on both subjects like asbestos and silica and how dangerous both can be, I'm now armed with the knowledge of how to treat these hazards and also how to prevent a problem that can be eliminated, I definitely recommend this course for anybody who wants to learn about asbestos and silica.”
“Just completed my forklift course with Craig, highly recommend”
“I'm really satisfied with the way the class was lead simple and easy to remember for the questions on the theory test. I'm really grateful that I'm given another chance to do train and do the practical test again which I didn't pass on the first time. So that I'm prepared to use the forklift without making mistakes when I do get my licence as well as work using the forklift.”
“Best Training Centre. I have done my forklift training from here. The trainer named "JOHN SANDERSON" is the best trainer to me. Recommended this place with 5 stars”

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We’ve got answers. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, call us on 1800 900 222.
Is the 11084NAT Asbestos Awareness course mandatory?
Yes, in the NSW this course is mandatory for all construction workers, alongside the White Card. For other
Australian states, it is the recommended Code of Practice training for anyone who may work with or disturb
asbestos-containing materials.
How long is the course and what format is it?
The Asbestos Awareness course typically takes 3–4 hours to complete. It is delivered in a structured classroom or online environment that covers the identification of asbestos-containing materials, legal requirements, and safe work practices. In NSW, this training is mandatory for all workers involved in construction and similar trades. In other Australian states, it is recommended for anyone who may work near, disturb, or manage asbestos-containing materials.
When will I receive my certificate?
Do I need any prior qualifications or experience?
What if I fail the assessment?
Can I book training for my whole team?
Yes — group or corporate bookings are available. Many training providers can deliver onsite sessions for larger teams, tailor scheduling, or offer bulk enrolment options. Team training ensures everyone meets NSW legal requirements and follows consistent, safe work practices.
What is the NSW Training Fund and am I eligible?
The NSW Building and Construction Industry Training Fund Authority (TFA) provides subsidies for approved training undertaken by eligible employers and workers in the construction sector. You may be eligible if:
- You work for an NSW-based construction company, and
- Your employer pays the mandatory Training Fund Levy on your projects.
If eligible, your course fee may be partially reimbursed. You or your employer will need to apply for the subsidy after completing the course.
How long is the certification valid?
The Asbestos Awareness certificate in most jurisdictions does not have a formal expiry date, but employers often require refresher training every 2–5 years to ensure knowledge remains current. Some regulatory bodies or worksites may specify their own renewal timeframes. In NSW, while refresher training is not legally mandated, it is strongly recommended — especially for workers regularly exposed to potential asbestos-containing materials.
Does the 11084NAT asbestos awareness course meet training requirements for workers who may encounter asbestos in NSW?
The course provides nationally recognised asbestos awareness training and supports employers in providing workers with appropriate information, instruction and training where asbestos-containing materials may be present.
When is asbestos awareness training required for workers in New South Wales?
Asbestos awareness training may be required whenever workers could encounter asbestos-containing materials during construction, demolition, renovation, maintenance or installation activities. Employers should assess workplace risks and ensure workers receive suitable training.
Can I complete the asbestos awareness course online from Sydney?
Yes. AlertForce offers live webinar delivery, allowing workers throughout Sydney and NSW to complete their asbestos awareness training remotely while still meeting course requirements.
