Rules of registration

Depending on your marketing strategy, you may find it advantageous to register your international, as well as the relevant Australian domain names. Be aware that different domain types do have specific conditions and will require you to provide certain details to qualify.

.com.au and .net.au

To register a .com.au or .net.au domain, you must be an Australian registered company, or business with a registered business number (ABN, BRN, BN). You will need to supply this number during the order process. The domain name you order will need to 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 two to 63 letters in length. Words can be separated by hyphens but not spaces.

.org.au and .asn.au

To qualify for these domains, your organisation must be a ‘non-commercial organisation’. The domain name you register needs to have a solid relationship to the organisation to which it represents.

.id.au

Intended for individuals who reside in Australia, anyone is free to register their own name.
