This page gives you information on a number of different topics to do with asbestos in the home.
Asbestos in homes, and the removal of it, is not regulated under OHS legislation, UNLESS the home becomes a worksite - that is, if workers are undertaking work at a private residence. If this is the case, then the asbestos chapter (Part 4.3) of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 2007 applies.
Before even thinking of removing any asbestos yourself, take a look at a video produced by the Queensland government: Working safely with asbestos - for the home renovator which provides advice to home owners to ensure that any removal work done by non-professionals is done in a manner that does not create a risk. Remember, however, that if the work is being done by a paid worker, then Part 4.3 of the regulations must be complied with.
