.au direct names are general purpose - they're open to anyone with a verified connection to Australia who wants to create or manage an online presence for themselves or their organisation.

Introducing .au Direct

Historically, with the exception of .id.au, there has not been a country code top level domain namespace available to the everyday Australians.

The good news is that as of 24th March 2022, everyday Australians are now eliglble to register domain names in the .au Direct namespace.

Domain names in this namespace will end with the uniquely Australian .au extension, short and sweet.

For example: dinkumblue.au

To be eligible for a .au direct name you simply need a verifiable Australian presence, which includes being a citizen or permanent resident or an organisation registered in Australia.

For the full rundown on .au direct domain names, please visit the auDA page:

There is no better time than now to claim your very own .au online presence.

To get started, simply do a search to find out if your preferred domain name is still available.
