We are delighted Thoracic Oncology Frontiers have invited us to collaborate with them to provide an inaugural Global Mesothelioma Education Forum.

The date coincides perfectly with the UK’s Action Mesothelioma Day - with the webinar taking place the day before on Thursday 2 July.

The whole global mesothelioma community: patients, families, advocates, legal members, non-profit, doctors, nurses and researchers are welcome to attend.

Mesothelioma experts from Australia, Asia, Europe and the USA will discuss the latest insights and developments into mesothelioma. A global ‘A list’ of speakers are confirmed - this is a webinar you won't want to miss.

More details and registration information coming soon.

A heartfelt Thank You! to all SES volunteers. AVA was invited to the Gawler SES branch recently to help the volunteers be more aware of the circumstances in which they may come across asbestos.

We had a tour of the NCARD laboratories a few years ago when the ASSEA conference was held in Perth. Their committed team is doing excellent work.

A big thank you to the SA State Emergency Service - their people so often put themselves into a position of risk to keep the rest of us safe.

As part of SA History Month this May, we’re taking a look at how safety messaging has evolved over the years.

Check out this poster from the National Safety Council of Australia (now known as NSCA Foundation) dated roughly 1950 -1970 reminding workers to stop work and stay alert for hazards.

While the design and style of safety messages have changed over time, the core message remains the same. Awareness and risk prevention save lives.

So many people working together with the same aim - to make asbestos and asbestos disease a thing of the past.

This National Volunteer Week we’re saying thank you to the incredible volunteers behind Australia’s asbestos- and silica-related disease support groups.

Across the country, these groups provide comfort, guidance and a sense of community for people affected by asbestos- and silica- related diseases and their loved ones.

Many are volunteers with lived experience, giving their time to support others through some of life’s toughest moments.

At ASSEA, we’re proud to work with support groups whose work makes a real difference everyday, like the Asbestos Council of Victoria/GARDS Inc, (ACV GARDS) Asbestos Diseases Foundation of Australia (ADFA), The Asbestos Diseases Society of Australia Inc. (ADSA), Asbestos Disease Support Society (ADSS), The Asbestos Diseases Society of South Australia Inc. (ADSSA), Asbestosis and Mesothelioma Association of Australia (AMAA), Asbestos Victims Assoc. (SA) and Mesothelioma and Dust Diseases Association (MADDA).

Thank you for everything you do.
