asbestos stopped using

asbestos??
I live in Australia do you know when they stopped using asbestos to use as weatherboard (shingles)? I have a room built out the back made of weatherboard (shingles) I think it’s asbestos but not sure the room looks like it could of been build in the 1970’s to late 80’s. who do i call to come out and test it ? answers would be appreciated. Thanks
the asbestos is not on the roof it’s what i think is called siding some parts are not in the best of condition
What whould happen if a test came back positive
This article has a link to other areas that may be able to answer your question. I’m in Canada so I can’t answer specifically, but this info should help. The builder could have used materials that should have been withdrawn so that’s a concern, too.
