The Asbestos Diseases Foundation of Australia Inc. (ADFA) is a not-for profit organisation working to provide support to people living with asbestos related diseases, family members, carers and friends. ADFA is a community based group founded by Trade Unions, victims, families of victims, and concerned citizens to meet the needs of people affected by asbestos related disease and has a long history of being engaged in advocacy work within the Australian community. ADFA works to provide information to the community as to the dangers of asbestos.

Our aim is to reduce the number of people exposed to asbestos and future incidence of asbestos related disease in the Australian community.

We support members living in metropolitan and regional NSW. Monthly support groups are held at Granville, Wagga Wagga, Newcastle, Gosford & Orange.

We are actively engaged in health promotion initiatives in the provision of education to the wider community.
