The ACT keeps an Affected Residential Premises Register of houses that still contain Mr Fluffy loose fill asbestos insulation, identified by unit, block, section and division. Tradespeople are told to check the register before working on a property, and to read the Asbestos Management Plan, which should be in a display case at the main entrance to the house.
