The Silicosis Support Hub: expert research to keep workers safe
By Slater and Gordon
Silicosis and silica-related disease remains a significant health concern across Australia, affecting thousands of workers and their families. That’s why we stand alongside the Asbestos and Dust Diseases Research Institute (ADDRI), supporting those suffering from silicosis.

The Silicosis Support Hub was launched last year and provides a comprehensive national online resource designed to empower individuals affected by silicosis and other silica-related diseases. Visit the Silicosis Support Hub
Proudly partnering with ADDRI
Our Head of Dust and Asbestos Diseases, Joanne Wade, an expert in silica related diseases, contributed to the development of the Silicosis Hub. She provided crucial knowledge and years of experience to the content and worked closely with the team at ADDRI to bring this together. Together they developed something truly impactful, demonstrating the power of collaboration, shared vision, and diverse expertise.
The Silicosis Hub is a testament to what can be achieved when individuals come together with a shared purpose. It is more than just a repository of information; it is a living, evolving platform designed to support education, awareness, and improved outcomes for all those impacted by silicosis.
We value our partnership with ADDRI and remain steadfast in our commitment to advancing the well-being of every worker, by advocating for education and safety, providing support and helping to ensure access to reliable information.
