Important information — .au eligibility disclaimer

This page is an automated assessment tool to help you understand whether a .au domain may be affected by proposed changes to the .au Licensing Rules. It is not legal advice and it is not an official auDA eligibility or licensing register.

Help.com.au is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by auDA, ASIC, the Australian Business Register or the Australian Government.

Recommendation 2 of the 2025 .au Licensing Rules Review has been approved in principle but is not yet in force. These results do not mean a domain is currently ineligible, or that it will be cancelled on any particular date.

The check compares the domain name with the registrant and eligibility name shown on the public .au record. It does not confirm legal ownership, and it cannot see a qualifying business name, Australian trade mark or other entitlement that is not reflected in that record.

If your domain is flagged, it means it may need review under the proposed rules — not that you need to cancel, replace or re-register it today.
