Welcome  

The Asbestos Victims Association (SA) Inc has been around since 2000 and has hundreds of members across the state.

We focus on victim support, advocacy for victims and their families and legislative reform to provide a better deal for victims and their families.

We have had some great wins recently - including the Xenophon legislation to streamline and increase compensation payments to South Australians and of course the successful campaign to get James Hardie to adequately compensate its victims.

AVA also works hard to promote community awareness of asbestos, working with Safe Work SA to educate our community.

"Asbestos related disease has cut a swathe through our community. The Asbestos Victims Association (SA) Inc (AVA) is made up of victims of these illnesses, their friends and families. If you are passionate about support and advocacy for victims or legislative reform I invite you to join us."

Terry Miller of South Australia
