New .AU rules - applicable from April 12 2021

From April 12 2021, the new rules will apply to new registrations and to current domains when they are renewing. If your domain is not compliant, it will be subject to deletion by the Registry.

.COM.AU and .NET.AU changes: If an Australian trademark is used as the basis for meeting the Australian presence requirement, the domain name must be an exact match to the trademark (excluding TLD identifiers such as .COM.AU, punctuation marks, articles such as ‘a’, ‘the’, ‘and ’or ‘of’; and ampersands).
.ORG.AU changes: Unincorporated associations are no longer eligible. The only exception is where an unincorporated association appears on the Australian Charities and Not for Profit Commission’s (ACNC) Register of Charities.
.ID.AU changes (in late 2021): It is no longer allowed to register a name that refers to a personal interest or a hobby.
Prohibition of renting, leasing or selling: Renting or leasing your .AU domain name to a third party is prohibited. Selling, renting or leasing any sub-domain is also prohibited.
