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 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.

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.
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 TypeChoiceRequired
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 NumberTextRequired 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.
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 NumberTextRequired
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 DateDateRequired
Expiry on that same licence. The field does not accept a date before today, so a lapsed licence cannot be entered as current.
ABN/ACNTextOptional
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.
Save this section as Licensed Removalist to prefill it on your next asbestos notification for the same licence.
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 TypeChoiceOptional
Tick Friable, Non-Friable, or both. Match the site assessment and licence scope. Tick both when the same job and location include both materials.
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 TypeChoiceRequired 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 MaterialsTextRequired 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
Estimated total friable volume. Appears only when Friable is ticked.
Total Quantity of Friable AsbestosNumberRequired 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.
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 TypeChoiceRequired 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 MaterialsTextRequired when Other is ticked under Non-Friable Removal Type
Materials outside the listed options, in plain site language.
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 AsbestosNumberRequired 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.
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 SupervisorsTableOptional
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.
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 AsbestosNumberOptional
Headcount of workers who will remove asbestos, for example 4. Match the crew for this job, not the full company headcount.
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 DateDateRequired
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 DateDateOptional
Last planned day of removal. Keep it consistent with estimated days.
Removal Start TimeTimeOptional
Planned start time on the start date, for example 07:00.
How Long Will It Take?NumberOptional
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?ChoiceOptional
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?TextOptional
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.
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 TypeChoiceOptional
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 TypeTextRequired when Other is ticked under Workplace Type
Short, specific description when Other is selected, for example a school building, retail tenancy, or industrial shed.
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 NameTextOptional
Who engaged the licensed removal, for example Harbour Holdings Pty Ltd. Match the quote and job booking.
Contact NameTextOptional
Person WorkSafe or the crew can call about access, for example Chris Nguyen.
Contact NumberTelOptional
Phone for that workplace contact during the removal window.
Save this section as Workplace Contact to prefill it on your next asbestos notification for the same client.
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 NameTextOptional
Short site or job name, for example 42 Industrial Drive Refurbishment. Helps tell multiple notices apart when the street alone is not enough.
Street addressAddressRequired
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.
StateAddressOptional
Defaults to VIC. Confirm VIC when typing by hand.
PostcodeAddressRequired
Victorian postcode, for example 3175. Filled by address search; confirm when typing manually.
Where on the site asbestos will be removed, plus telecommunications pit or pipe addresses when that is part of the job.
Exact Removal LocationTextOptional
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 AddressesTextOptional
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.
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.
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 StatementDeclarationRequired
Tick after you have read the declaration and privacy wording. Download is blocked until this is confirmed.
Name of Person Completing This FormTextRequired
Full name of the person making the declaration, usually the same person under Your Details.
Signature of Person Completing This FormSignatureOptional
Signature of the person making the declaration. You can use a saved signature; check the PDF preview so the stamp sits cleanly.
DateDateRequired
Date the declaration is made. Today and Yesterday shortcuts are available. Future dates are not accepted.
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.
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.
Email or fax the finished PDF to the WorkSafe regional office closest to the removal site. WorkSafe Victoria's notification guidance 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.
