To register a com.au or net.au domain name, you must be a commercial entity registered to do business in Australia and the domain name must:

  • Match or be an acronym of your business name
  • Match an Australian trademark held by your business
  • Match or be a synonym of the name of a good, service, event, activity or premises your business operates or provides.

Businesses (as well as individuals) can also register a domain name in the .au direct namespace. .au direct is Australia’s newest namespace. It launched in 2022 and provides an opportunity to register shorter, simpler domain name such as getyour.au.
