.au licensing rules

Is your .com.au domain still eligible?

auDA has approved a change that removes the rule letting a .com.au or .net.au domain rely on a close match to the registrant's name. Check which of your domains would still qualify, and what it takes to keep the ones that would not.

We check the domains

The registrant and eligibility names come from the .au registry record, and any business names from the Australian Business Register.

See what to fix

Each domain shows whether it is at risk, and what would keep it eligible — usually a matching business name or a correction at your registrar.

One per line, up to 50 at a time, and 50 an hour from one connection. Only .com.au and .net.au are affected by these changes. Pasted web addresses are tidied up automatically.
