Why it matters

Childcare centres are highly sensitive, occupied environments. Older buildings — and converted homes used as centres — can contain asbestos in sheeting, eaves and flooring. The duty of care, and the reputational stakes, are high.

What’s required

A childcare workplace needs an asbestos register and, where asbestos is present, a management plan. Before any renovation or fit-out, a refurbishment survey is essential, and air monitoring provides documented reassurance.

FAQ

Common questions

Do childcare centres need an asbestos register?
Yes — they are workplaces; where built before 2004 or asbestos is present, a register and management plan are required.
We’re in a converted house — does that matter?
Older converted dwellings commonly contain asbestos. An inspection is the sensible first step.
Can you assess without disrupting the children?
Yes — we schedule and plan assessments to minimise disruption and prioritise safety.
What if asbestos is found?
We’ll advise on safe management or licensed removal where needed, with clearance and monitoring.
