There are four weeks remaining for existing .au domain name holders (registrants) to take advantage of their priority opportunity to register a .au direct domain name that matches their existing domain names ending in .au.

Australia’s newest domain namespace has arrived with the launch of .au direct. For the first time, Australians can now register domain names directly before the .au (e.g. getyour.au) through participating accredited registrars.

auDA has launched a new national integrated marketing campaign to introduce Australians to .au direct, Australia’s newest domain namespace.

Australia’s newest namespace, .au direct, will launch on 24 March 2022. auDA and the Australian domain name industry are working together closely to prepare for its introduction. Here we provide an update on .au direct preparations.
