woodg62 – actually it’s the individual owners with a strata scheme who are responsible for the identification of the problem (of loose-fill asbestos), and as kaindib mentioned in post #2, the NSW Government offers free testing and other services for property owners in specific local government areas.
As there may be significant impacts upon other owners in your scheme, I’d recommend that you initially write to the secretary of your executive committee with a copy to your strata manager, advising them of the potential problem and of the possible impacts upon other owners and the owners corporation if testing is positive.
Then contact the the Loose–Fill Asbestos Implementation Taskforce by phone on (02)9895 0785 (direct line) about registering for their program, which by the way ceases taking applications in August 2016; so don’t delay!!
