We present early science results from Deep Investigation of Neutral Gas Origins (DINGO), an |$\rm H$| i survey using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP). Using ASKAP subarrays available during its commissioning phase, DINGO early science data were taken over ∼60 deg2 of the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) 23 h region with 35.5 h integration time. We make direct detections of six known and one new sources at z < 0.01. Using |$\rm H$| i spectral stacking, we investigate the |$\rm H$| i gas content of galaxies at 0.04 < z < 0.09 for different galaxy colours. The results show that galaxy morphology based on optical colour is strongly linked to |$\rm H$| i gas properties. To examine environmental impacts on the |$\rm H$| i gas content of galaxies, three subsamples are made based on the GAMA group catalogue. The average |$\rm H$| i mass of group central galaxies is larger than those of satellite and isolated galaxies, but with a lower |$\rm H$| i gas fraction. We derive a variety of |$\rm H$| i scaling relations for physical properties of our sample, including stellar mass, stellar mass surface density, NUV − r colour, specific star formation rate, and halo mass. We find that the derived |$\rm H$| i scaling relations are comparable to other published results, with consistent trends also observed to ∼0.5 dex lower limits in stellar mass and stellar surface density. The cosmic |$\rm H$| i densities derived from our data are consistent with other published values at similar redshifts. DINGO early science highlights the power of |$\rm H$| i spectral stacking techniques with ASKAP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
