Our members are primarily Australia’s underground asset owners. They are the electricity, gas, communications and water companies – as well as many other private enterprises. They range from the largest telecommunications companies with hundreds of thousands of kilometres of cables through to a local business protecting an underground network running from one side of the road to the other.

Our local councils are members too. They are looking to protect the storm water drains, sewerage infrastructure, irrigation and network cabling between council locations.

Dial Before You Dig also has the support of many organisations that do not own underground assets. These are typically industry associations or organisations whose own members have a need to excavate. They are members because they believe in the importance of safe digging practices and the need to help spread the Dial Before You Dig message throughout the excavation community.

The benefit of Dial Before You Dig membership is information. Our members receive valuable information on what is happening around their underground assets. This enables them to know who is working close to their assets, what type of work will be done and when the work will be done. Of greatest importance is the protection of these assets. When members receive a Dial Before You Dig referral it enables them to send plans out detailing the location of the underground assets and work with excavators where necessary to ensure no damage is done.

Becoming a member is easy. There are no joining fees and members simply pay for the referrals they receive from Dial Before You Dig.

Dial Before You Dig is now seen as the essential first step for asset information and as a neutral body that people trust. Quite simply hundreds around Australia use the service on a daily basis so membership ensures your organisation receives the most comprehensive information on excavating activity.
