Welcome 

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, friends and community supporters for 15 years.

Adfa is a community based advocacy group founded by concerned citizens to meet the needs of people affected by an asbestos related disease.

Adfa has a long history of being engaged in advocacy work within the community.

Adfa works to provide the 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. 

We aim to support the growing number of victims, both now and in the future.

We are a non-for-profit organisation working to support people living with asbestos related disease, their family and friends.  

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 with the aim of reducing the incidence of asbestos related disease in the future.
