Before you start work, be aware of your surroundings
Before You Dig Australia (BYDA) is the leading voice for utility damage prevention in Australia. We are dedicated to preventing injury and reducing damage to the networks that provide essential services to millions of Australians every day. BYDA provides a single point of contact to request information via our safety tools about any underground or overhead infrastructure at your planned work site without needing to contact utility organisations individually.

BYDA membership informs you who is working around your assets, when they are working, why, and what type of work they are performing so you can share plans and information to prevent damage. BYDA members include infrastructure asset owners looking to protect workers and the continuity of essential services within the community, as well as non-asset owners who support the BYDA message and safe site practices.
