Free National Referral Service & APP
Introducing Before You Dig
Before You Dig Australia is a FREE national referral service designed to assist in preventing damage and disruption to Australia’s vast infrastructure networks which provide essential services we use every day and reduce damage to our Members’ infrastructure assets and resulting loss and harm to the community.
Don’t put your life on the line, when planning any job, big or small always check the location of above ground powerlines to ensure you are able to work safely. You don’t have to make contact with a powerline for it to be fatal. Electricity can jump if equipment or machinery gets too close to powerlines
Members benefit from:
- First Point of Contact
Dial Before You Dig should always be the first point of contact when working around Powerlines. - Look Up and Live App
To help you plan to work safely near above ground electricity, use the look up and live map. It provides an interactive map to identify the powerlines, their voltages and who owns them. With most of Australia’s above ground electricity network now active on the map, the tool is free and available on web, android and apple phone apps.
The tool combines several important safety features in one handy location, including:
- Safety guidelines and advice, including powerline exclusion zones
- Options for planning or performing work e.g. powerline visual indicators
- Information on de-energisation or relocation of powerlines
- High load forms
- Before You Dig Australia enquiry details
The Look Up and Live map tool is accessible online, or via the Google Play and App stores.
