Dial Before You Dig is a free national community service covering Australia's vast pipe and cable network. It has been established to avoid damage and disruption to the essential services Australians use every day - electricity, gas, communications and water.
In a unique partnership with underground asset owners, Dial Before You Dig acts as a single point of contact. With a single enquiry you receive free information about underground networks at your excavation site, usually within 2 working days.
Obtaining information about your excavation site is also important to avoiding injury, whether you are a professional excavator, tradesman or home renovator.
