.com.au & .net.au

The licence requirements for a .com.au and .net.au domain name require your business to be registered for business in Australia, this means registering your business or company name with one of the official Government Authorities, eg ASIC, State Dept. of Fair Trading, or alternatively by obtaining an Australian Business Number (ABN) from the ATO.

The domain name you order should either be an exact match, acronym or abbreviation of the supplied business registration, or it should bear a close and substantial connection to the domain name.

Domains can be 2 to 63 letters, and words can be separated by hyphens, but not spaces

.au.com, .com, .biz, .net, .info & .org

These domain names are not restricted or regulated by .au Policy Rules. They are therefore policy free and anyone can register any domain name. If you own a company name, or a trademark, register an .au.com domain name to prevent anyone else registering that name.

.org.au & .asn.au

To qualify for these domains your organisation must be a "non-commercial organisation".

The domain name you register should have a solid relationship to the organisation to which it represents.

.id.au

Especially designed for individuals, who reside in Australia. You may register any personal name by which you are known.
