Benefits of .au domain names

Robust licensing rules mean that .au domain names experience significantly lower levels of domain abuse such as phishing or malware than the global average. The rules set out strong requirements that outline who can register a .au domain name. Registrants’ details are validated to ensure they have an Australian presence and, where required, an Australian registered business or organisation. Having an Australian presence means .au domain name holders are subject to Australian laws and those visiting .au websites are covered by consumer protection.

Every time you type a .au domain name into an internet search bar or send an email to an address ending in .au, the .au domain quickly and accurately connects you to what you’re looking for. That’s because auDA takes its responsibilities around governance and management of the .au domain seriously. We invest significantly in the security and reliability of the .au domain to maintain accurate, uninterrupted delivery of services you can rely on.

.au is the standout domain for Australians and Australian organisations. There are a range of namespaces within .au to choose from, catering to the wide-ranging needs of every Australian.
