How Can Our “No Win, No Fee” Kiama Dust Disease & Asbestos Lawyers Help?

If you or a family member in Kiama has been diagnosed with a condition linked to asbestos fibres or hazardous dust exposure at work, home, or in the community, you may have the right to claim compensation or access entitlements. These rights often remain available even if exposure occurred decades ago or if the original employer or business no longer exists.

Across New South Wales, workers who were exposed to asbestos, silica, or other harmful substances and later developed illnesses such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, or similar conditions may be eligible for weekly payments and medical support through the Dust Diseases Board of NSW.


If a dust-related condition leads to a fatality, surviving dependants may also be entitled to bring a claim.


Making a claim with the Dust Diseases Board does not prevent you from taking further action. Where employer negligence can be proven and the illness is linked to unsafe exposure, you may have grounds to pursue a common law claim.


These matters are managed by the Dust Diseases Tribunal of NSW, a specialised court dedicated to asbestos and dust-related cases. Because some claims are subject to strict timeframes, our Kiama-based lawyers offer home or hospital consultations where required. In some situations, compensation can also be sought for non-workplace exposure.


A successful outcome in the Tribunal may include a lump sum payment. To give your case the strongest foundation, contact Kells’ compensation team in Kiama today to arrange your free initial consultation.

We focus on taking the stress out of the claims process.

Our Kiama Dust Disease & Asbestos Lawyers are here to guide you through the process step by step, starting with a free case assessment.
