Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a .au domain name?

First, decide on a Domain Name that best suits your needs. The best way to decide this is to research the auDA policy to find out which option is best suited to your requirements and whether you meet the eligibility policy.

Next, check to see if your chosen .au Domain Name is available. This is simple to achieve by using the “Check Availability” search feature found on the right hand side of every page. Just type in your of choice and the WHOIS will indicate whether it is available or, if not, details of who has registered the Domain Name. Please note this service only provides information on .au Domain Names.

Finally, choose a Registrar (retailer)! The ”Find A Registrar” search function on every page provides a list of .au Domain Administration (auDA) accredited Registrars. Any one of these Registrars can help you register your chosen .au Domain Name, provided it is available. Click through to your Registrar of choice and follow their registration instructions.
