How We Can Help

Strong support for those affected by Asbestosis and Mesothelioma

AMAA volunteers are available to help you, through offering telephone support, home and hospital visits, as well as monthly support group meetings.

Remember, you are not alone and AMAA can put you in contact with people who are in a similar situation and have been affected by asbestos. AMAA is here to support you and your family.

Medical Support

imag_xrayMany people do not realise that they have an Asbestos Disease until they are consulted by their local Medical Practitioner for another problem. In many cases it is only detected during a medical examination or from the results of an X-ray, or other body scan.

If you believe you have Asbestos symptoms, do not delay in seeing your local Medical Practitioner. If your doctor is unsure of any Asbestos issue, of which many are, you should request a referral letter to a Respiratory Physician.

Dr Rob Nickels of the Tweed Head area gave an excellent presentation at our last seminar.
