Welcome to GARDS

Welcome to Gippsland Asbestos Related Disease Support Inc. (GARDS), a non-profit, non-government, voluntary organisation dedicated to supporting the victims of asbestos and their families. GARDS also works to raise the level of asbestos awareness in the community, industry and at all levels of government.

 

GARDS Support
Provides support and information to sufferers, their families and carers. This includes home visits by GARDS volunteers, a telephone support service, and drop-in services at GARDS' office. GARDS Support also conducts meetings where guest presenters are invited to provide information about regional support services and other areas of interest and assistance. The meetings also provide a gathering place for experiences. GARDS Support is open to anyone exposed to asbestos or suffering from asbestos disease.

 

GARDS Advocacy
This is the organisational, activities and advocating arm of of GARDS Inc. GARDS Advocacy is focused on improving health support services and compensation arrangements to asbestos sufferers and their families, ensuring asbestos related issues are kept in the public eye and eventually, ridding our environment of asbestos.
