1. No answer is returning when I do a domain query. Am I doing something wrong?

If the query interface is not returning an answer, please take the time to let us know so we can try and fix your issue.

2. I want to register a .com.au domain name, do I need to have a business or company name?

In most cases the answer is yes.
You can only register a name in the .com.au or .net.au if you have an ABN, ABR, BN or Australian Trademark. More details are available on our page that talks about Australian domains.

3. Can I reserve a domain name?

It's not possible to reserve a domain name.
Domain names are registered on a first comes first served basis.

4. I want to register a .org.au domain name, do I have to be a charity/non profit?

In most cases the answer is yes.
You can only register a name in the .org.au if you are a charity, non profit, or club. More details are available on our page that talks about Australian domains.
