# VIC Asbestos Notification (https://dev.tradieforms.com.au/docs/form-guides/building/vic/vic-asbestos-removal-notification) This form notifies WorkSafe Victoria before licensed asbestos removal: who is removing it, what and how much, when, and where. The licensed removalist completes a new notice or an amendment, then downloads the official FOR567 PDF to email or fax the WorkSafe regional office closest to the site. [WorkSafe Victoria says](https://www.worksafe.vic.gov.au/asbestos-removal-notification) you need at least 24 hours notice for licensed non-friable removal of 10 m² or less, at least 5 days for all other licensed jobs, or within 24 hours of starting when an unexpected situation applies. This is the current WorkSafe Victoria Asbestos Removal Notification and Amendment Form. Tradie Forms follows the official section order and maps your answers onto the official PDF layout. Planning Class B asbestos removal in NSW rather than notifying WorkSafe Victoria? Use [NSW ARCP Class B](https://dev.tradieforms.com.au/docs/form-guides/building/nsw/nsw-asbestos-removal-control-plan-class-b) > **Warning** > > Downloading the PDF does not lodge the notice. Email or fax it to the WorkSafe regional office closest to the removal site before work starts, on the current timing for the job. ## Before you start [#before-you-start] Almost every late notice comes from filling against the booking sheet instead of the licence, the site assessment, and the real start date. Have these in front of you. - **Current asbestos removal licence** - Licence number, expiry date, and ABN or ACN for the business doing the removal. - **Site assessment and material scope** - Friable and non-friable types, quantities (m³ and m²), enclosure method if friable, and exact work areas. - **Crew list** - Supervisor names and mobiles that will be answered during the job, plus how many workers will remove asbestos. - **Schedule and notice decision** - Start and end dates, start time, estimated days, and whether this is new, an amendment, or unexpected-situation work. - **Workplace and removal address** - Client who commissioned the work, Victorian site address, and any telecom pit or pipe locations. - **Existing WorkSafe reference when amending** - The notification number from the original lodged notice if dates, scope, or site details change. Notification type, your name and email, licence number and expiry, asbestos type (at least one of friable or non-friable), removal start date, street address and postcode, declaration tick, completer name, and declaration date gate the download. Friable and non-friable detail sections only appear after you tick the matching type. ## Notification Type [#notification-type] Tells WorkSafe whether this is a fresh notice or a change to one already lodged. The same FOR567 is used for both. A standing notice restates the notice periods: at least 24 hours before removing 10 m² or less of non-friable asbestos, at least 5 days before all other jobs, or within 24 hours when an unexpected situation applies. - **Notification Type (Choice, Required)** - **New Notification** for a job WorkSafe has not been told about. **Amend Existing Notification** when dates, quantity, location, crew, or other details on a lodged notice have changed. Do not open a second new notice for a schedule slip on the same job and location when an amendment is the right path. - **Existing Notification Number (Text, Required when you select Amend Existing Notification)** - From the original lodged notice or WorkSafe confirmation, for example `AN-2026-01482`. Not an internal job number. If you are on site without the confirmation, check the office copy before download. ## Your Details [#your-details] Contact details for the person completing this notification, so WorkSafe can follow up. - **Name (Text, Required)** - The person filling and lodging the form, for example `Jordan Lee`. Use the contact WorkSafe should reach about this notice. - **Contact Number (Tel, Optional)** - A number that will be answered while the notice is live. Prefer the number on your licence or office records. - **Email Address (Email, Required)** - The inbox for questions about this notification. Check spelling before download; a typo makes follow-up hard. **Saved detail: Notifier** - save this section to prefill it on your next asbestos notification. ## Licensed Removalist [#licensed-removalist] Licence and business details for the removalist doing the work. These values need to match the current licence record, not a quote or old job file. - **Licence Number (Text, Required)** - From the current asbestos removal licence, for example `AR123456`. Use the number for the business removing material on this site. If you are on site without the card, the licence holder or office can confirm it. - **Licence Expiry Date (Date, Required)** - Expiry on that same licence. The field does not accept a date before today, so a lapsed licence cannot be entered as current. - **ABN/ACN (Text, Optional)** - ABN or ACN of the licensed business. Use ABN lookup when you have it. Match the entity on the licence, not a related trading name. **Saved detail: Licensed Removalist** - save this section to prefill it on your next asbestos notification for the same licence. ## Asbestos Type [#asbestos-type] Selects friable, non-friable, or both. The next sections only appear for the types you tick. You need the licence class that covers the material: Class A for friable, Class B for non-friable as a minimum. Download is blocked until at least one of Friable or Non-Friable is ticked, even though neither box is marked required on its own. - **Asbestos Type (Choice, Optional)** - Tick **Friable**, **Non-Friable**, or both. Match the site assessment and licence scope. Tick both when the same job and location include both materials. ## Friable Removal [#friable-removal] Which friable materials are being removed. Appears only when **Friable** is ticked under Asbestos Type. Options include asbestos-backed vinyl sheeting, contaminated dust or soil, fuses in switchboards, insulation, millboard, non-friable asbestos that has become friable, pipe lagging, sprayed limpet, loose fill asbestos insulation, and Other. - **Friable Removal Type (Choice, Required when Friable is ticked)** - Tick every friable material type on this job. Take the list from the register, survey, or site assessment, not from a similar job. - **Further Friable Materials (Text, Required when Other is ticked under Friable Removal Type)** - Materials that do not fit the listed options, in wording that matches your job records and photos. - **Useful** - Degraded woven asbestos gasket packing on boiler flanges, Building B plant room - **Too vague** - Misc friable ## Enclosure Method [#enclosure-method] How friable removal is controlled. Appears only when **Friable** is ticked. Options are Full Enclosure, Partial Enclosure, Glove Bag, Wrap and Cut, Other, and None. - **Enclosure Method (Choice, Required when Friable is ticked)** - Tick the method or methods that apply. Match the removal plan and controls you will use on site. - **Further Enclosure Types (Text, Required when Other is ticked under Enclosure Method)** - Enclosure methods outside the listed options, short but clear enough for WorkSafe. - **Why No Enclosure Is Needed (Text, Required when None is ticked under Enclosure Method)** - Why no enclosure is required for this friable work. Leave blank when an enclosure method is selected. ## Friable Quantity [#friable-quantity] Estimated total friable volume. Appears only when **Friable** is ticked. - **Total Quantity of Friable Asbestos (Number, Required when Friable is ticked)** - Estimated total friable asbestos in cubic metres, for example `2`. From the site assessment or removal plan. Check the PDF preview so the unit reads as m³. ## Non-Friable Removal [#non-friable-removal] Which non-friable materials are being removed. Appears only when **Non-Friable** is ticked under Asbestos Type. Options include AC pipe, AC roof, AC sheet, contaminated soil, telecommunications pits and pipes, vinyl floor or wall tile, zelemite boards, and Other. - **Non-Friable Removal Type (Choice, Required when Non-Friable is ticked)** - Tick every non-friable material type that applies. Match the register, survey, or site notes for this address. - **Further Non-Friable Materials (Text, Required when Other is ticked under Non-Friable Removal Type)** - Materials outside the listed options, in plain site language. ## Non-Friable Quantity [#non-friable-quantity] Estimated total non-friable area. Appears only when **Non-Friable** is ticked. A form notice reminds you that more than 10 m² of non-friable material needs at least 5 days notice. The square metre figure decides whether the job sits under the 24-hour small-quantity rule or the standard five-day notice. Estimate it honestly before you lock a start date. - **Total Quantity of Non-Friable Asbestos (Number, Required when Non-Friable is ticked)** - Estimated total in square metres, for example `8`. Use the assessment total for this job, not a rounded-down figure chosen to fit a shorter notice period. ## Site Supervisors [#site-supervisors] Supervisors for the removal work, each with a mobile answered during the job. One row is one supervisor. Add up to five. Leave unused rows out rather than adding blanks. Each row uses **Supervisor Name** and **Mobile Number**. - **Site Supervisors (Table, Optional)** - Name and mobile for each supervisor. Prefer numbers that stay with that person for the job. If supervisors change after you notify, amend the notice before relying on the old details. ## Workers [#workers] How many people will remove asbestos on this job. A form notice says that if worker training or experience has changed from what you previously told WorkSafe, update your asbestos licence at myworksafe.vic.gov.au. - **Workers Removing Asbestos (Number, Optional)** - Headcount of workers who will remove asbestos, for example `4`. Match the crew for this job, not the full company headcount. ## Removal Schedule [#removal-schedule] When removal starts, how long it runs, and whether the work is an unexpected situation. The start date is what the notice period is measured against. - **Removal Start Date (Date, Required)** - First day of licensed removal on this notice. Does not accept a date before today. If the start slips after you lodge, use an amendment rather than working on a date WorkSafe was never told about. - **Removal End Date (Date, Optional)** - Last planned day of removal. Keep it consistent with estimated days. - **Removal Start Time (Time, Optional)** - Planned start time on the start date, for example `07:00`. - **How Long Will It Take? (Number, Optional)** - Expected days. Count calendar days including weekends: Friday to Monday is 4 days, not 2. The app helper states the same rule. - **Is This an Unexpected Situation? (Choice, Optional)** - A sudden event that may expose people to airborne asbestos, an unexpected breakdown of an essential service needing immediate rectification, or **None of the Above**. Unexpected-situation work is notified within 24 hours of starting rather than in advance. - **What Happened? (Text, Optional)** - Required when you select a sudden event or essential-service breakdown. Describe what triggered the work. - **Useful** - Damaged asbestos cement sheeting was uncovered behind the switchboard during demolition. - **Too vague** - Emergency ## Workplace Type [#workplace-type] The kind of place where removal will happen. Tick the site type, not your business type. Options include Domestic Home, Public Place (school, hospital, shops), Office or Factory, Demolition Site, Commercial Roof Work or Removal, Utilities, Next to Public Place, and Other. - **Workplace Type (Choice, Optional)** - Tick every type that fits the removal site. A domestic home next to a public footpath may need more than one tick when both apply. - **Other Workplace Type (Text, Required when Other is ticked under Workplace Type)** - Short, specific description when Other is selected, for example a school building, retail tenancy, or industrial shed. ## Workplace Contact [#workplace-contact] Who commissioned the asbestos removal. Use the client on the engagement, not only a gate contact who met the crew on the day. Import from ServiceM8, Fergus, or Xero where supported. After import, check the contact is the workplace or engagement contact, not a billing-only Xero address. - **Client or Organisation Name (Text, Optional)** - Who engaged the licensed removal, for example `Harbour Holdings Pty Ltd`. Match the quote and job booking. - **Contact Name (Text, Optional)** - Person WorkSafe or the crew can call about access, for example `Chris Nguyen`. - **Contact Number (Tel, Optional)** - Phone for that workplace contact during the removal window. **Saved detail: Workplace Contact** - save this section to prefill it on your next asbestos notification for the same client. ## Removal Location [#removal-location] Victorian site name and street address. The address decides which WorkSafe regional office gets the PDF, so use the removal location, not head office or billing. Use address search (Victoria only). It fills street line, suburb, state, and postcode. Check unit, level, lot, or tenancy after search. Import from ServiceM8, Fergus, or Xero where supported, then confirm it is the removal site. State defaults to `VIC`. The official PDF has no separate state widget. Suburb is required for download and is filled by address search. - **Removal Site Workplace Name (Text, Optional)** - Short site or job name, for example `42 Industrial Drive Refurbishment`. Helps tell multiple notices apart when the street alone is not enough. - **Street address (Address, Required)** - Street line of the Victorian removal site, for example `42 Industrial Drive`. After address search, confirm against the job booking; search returns the current postal address and a job can predate a rename or subdivision. - **State (Address, Optional)** - Defaults to `VIC`. Confirm `VIC` when typing by hand. - **Postcode (Address, Required)** - Victorian postcode, for example `3175`. Filled by address search; confirm when typing manually. ## Location Details [#location-details] Where on the site asbestos will be removed, plus telecommunications pit or pipe addresses when that is part of the job. - **Exact Removal Location (Text, Optional)** - Specific enough that someone arriving on site can find the work area. - **Useful** - Boiler room on the ground floor of Building A - **Too vague** - On site - **Telecommunication Pit Addresses (Text, Optional)** - Pit or pipe locations when the job includes telecom infrastructure, for example `Pit 12 outside 18 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000`. Leave blank when pits and pipes are not part of the removal. ## Privacy [#privacy] Shows the privacy and collection notice that travels with the WorkSafe form. There are no job fields here. WorkSafe collects personal and health information to process asbestos removal notifications and administer licensing. The full statement is on page 6 of the downloaded PDF. Read it before you sign the declaration. ## Declaration [#declaration] Agreement, signature, and date for the person completing the form. Sign only after the earlier sections match the job. The declaration confirms you have read the privacy statement and that, to the best of your knowledge, the information given to WorkSafe is true and correct. - **I Confirm That I Have Read and Understood the Declaration, Privacy and Collection Statement (Declaration, Required)** - Tick after you have read the declaration and privacy wording. Download is blocked until this is confirmed. - **Name of Person Completing This Form (Text, Required)** - Full name of the person making the declaration, usually the same person under Your Details. - **Signature of Person Completing This Form (Signature, Optional)** - Signature of the person making the declaration. You can use a saved signature; check the PDF preview so the stamp sits cleanly. - **Date (Date, Required)** - Date the declaration is made. Today and Yesterday shortcuts are available. Future dates are not accepted. ## Submit [#submit] Shows WorkSafe Victoria lodgement information from the source form. There are no job fields here. Email or fax the completed PDF to the WorkSafe regional office closest to the removal site. The form lists the regional office contacts. A separate notification is required for each job and location. ## Common mistakes [#common-mistakes] - **Working to a 24-hour deadline when the job needs five days.** - Five days is the default for friable work and for non-friable over 10 m². If unsure, notify five days out. - **Underestimating non-friable quantity to fit the shorter notice.** - The square metre figure sets the deadline. Calling a larger job 10 m² or less does not change what WorkSafe expects once the real scope is on site. - **Entering a lapsed or wrong licence number.** - The notice is tied to the removalist licence. Check number and expiry against the current licence before download. - **Sending the PDF to the wrong regional office.** - Lodgement is to the office closest to the removal site, not your head office. The removal address decides where it should land. - **Opening a new notice when an amendment is what WorkSafe already has.** - Schedule slips and scope changes on a lodged notice use Amend Existing Notification with the original number, not a second new notice for the same job and location. - **Using a billing or head-office address as the removal location.** - The street address has to be where the asbestos is removed. A wrong address sends the notice to the wrong office. - **Signing before the schedule and quantity match the real job.** - The declaration stands behind the notice. Fix start date, quantities, and asbestos type first, then sign. ## Before download [#before-download] - Notification type is new or amend, and any amendment carries the existing notification number - Your name and email are correct for WorkSafe follow-up - Licence number and expiry match the current licensed removalist for this job - At least one asbestos type is ticked, and friable or non-friable detail matches the assessment - Non-friable square metres are honest, and the start date leaves enough notice for that quantity - Removal start date, unexpected-situation choice, and any what-happened text match the real job - Street address and postcode are the Victorian removal site, not billing or head office - Declaration is ticked, named, and dated, and the PDF preview shows the notice you intend to lodge ## After download [#after-download] Email or fax the finished PDF to the WorkSafe regional office closest to the removal site. [WorkSafe Victoria's notification guidance](https://www.worksafe.vic.gov.au/asbestos-removal-notification) is the source for current timing and process. A separate notice is required for each job and location. - **Name the file with the site and start date**, for example `VIC asbestos notification - 42 Industrial Drive Dandenong - 2026-07-01.pdf`. - **Keep a copy with the job file** alongside the licence details, assessment, and any amendment confirmations. - **Amend and re-download if dates, quantity, location, or crew change** before you rely on the old notice. - **Do not batch sites.** Each address gets its own FOR567. Check current WorkSafe Victoria requirements for your job. Timing, lodgement, and licence duties sit with WorkSafe. > **Warning** > > Tradie Forms prepares the PDF. You remain responsible for checking current WorkSafe Victoria requirements before starting or changing asbestos removal work. ## Related guides [#related-guides] - **[VIC asbestos notification walkthrough](https://dev.tradieforms.com.au/resources/vic-asbestos-removal-notification-worksafe-guide)** - Who must notify, the 24-hour and 5-day timeframes, and how to lodge FOR567. - **[NSW Class B ARCP](https://dev.tradieforms.com.au/docs/form-guides/building/nsw/nsw-asbestos-removal-control-plan-class-b)** - Site-specific control plan for licensed non-friable removal in NSW, not the Victorian notice. - **[NSW asbestos clearance (no air)](https://dev.tradieforms.com.au/docs/form-guides/building/nsw/nsw-safework-sw08272-asbestos-clearance)** - Visual clearance certificate after non-friable removal in NSW.
