.com.au and .net.au Registration Requirements

To own a .com.au or .net.au you must be an Australian registered company, or business with a registered business number (ABN, BRN, BN).

(The licence requirements for a .com.au and .net.au domain name require your business to be registered for business in Australia, this means registering your business or company name with one of the official Government Authorities, eg ASIC, State Dept. of Fair Trading, or alternatively by obtaining an Australian Business Number (ABN) from the ATO.

The domain name you order should have either 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:

For example, the Ford Motor Company would be reasonably entitled to own:

  • www.fordmotorcompany.com.au
  • www.ford.com.au
  • www.mustang.com.au
  • www.fordfocus.com.au

Domains can be 2 to 63 letters, and words can be separated by hyphens, but not spaces
