| Unions and lawyers are warning that hospitals across the country are riddled with asbestos.
Tanya Segelov represented late asbestos campaigner Bernie Banton and is still acting for sufferers of dust diseases.
"Hospitals throughout Australia were full of asbestos and many remain full of asbestos," Ms Segelov told the ABC's 7.30 program.
"All of the steam pipes are wrapped in asbestos, in the ceiling cavities there is asbestos sprayed.
"There are asbestos fire doors, it is in the boiler houses, it is in the laundry.
"Wherever there was heat, wherever there is steam, there was asbestos."
Annabel Crouch worked as a speech therapist at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital for three decades.
