When you're dealing with electricity, it's important to be Always Safe.

So this summer, make sure you're prepared for storm season, by downloading the Always safe around the home guide. And to make sure your home is safe, take our Home Safety Test.

Some people are tempted to undertake minor, or even major, electrical jobs themselves rather than calling a licenced electrician. Remember doing electrical work yourself is illegal, and very dangerous.

Keeping our powerlines and infrastucture safe for the community continues to be an important part of our business. Trees and powerlines don't mix. That's why we've developed programs for tree trimming, as well as tree planting and careful management of noxious weeds.

If you're planning to dig? Be Always Safe with underground powerlines and visit dialbeforeyoudig.com.au or call 1100 before you start.

Bushfires also disrupt power supply and threaten property and lives. We offer bushfire safety information to help you this summer.

In case of an electricity-related emergency, make sure our emergency numbers are handy. Remember, telephone lines may be congested or damaged, so please be patient. If you can't get through, notify the police.
