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.

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.”

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.
