What is a .au member?

A .au member is a member of .au Domain Administration Ltd (auDA). 

auDA is a for-purpose organisation that works with a range of stakeholders including industry, government and the Australian and international community to develop and administer the rules for domains in the .au country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD).

The .au is part of Australia's critical infrastructure and we have been endorsed by the Commonwealth Government to ensure it is a safe, accessible and trusted Australian public asset for all Internet users. 

We also represent Australia's interests internationally and have an agreement with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) - the international body covering ccTLDs.  

Why become a .au member?

The .au is for all Australians and therefore it's important we get input from a diverse range of stakeholders on how this important digital environment operates.

With your support and input, auDA will continue to provide independent management of the .au and keep it a secure, accessible, trusted and Australian asset for all Internet users.
