The governing body of .au domain names, the .au Domain Administration (auDA), recently announced that .au direct names will launch in Australia on 24 March 2022.
From the launch date, users will be able to register a domain name directly followed by .au, such as yourbusiness.au, provided the user has an ‘Australian presence’ (such as being an Australian registered company, resident, citizen, trade mark owner, majority Australian partnership etc). This Australian presence must continue throughout the licence period. In order for foreign companies or individuals to demonstrate a sufficient Australian presence, the relevant user will likely need to be in a position to rely on a corresponding trade mark application or registration.
