As of 13:00 AEDT on 24 March 2022, eligible registrants can apply for the new, shorter '.au' direct ccTLD.
Anyone who has an Australian presence, or local connection to Australia, will be eligible to register in the '.au' namespace.
Importantly, registrants of .au domain names in existence as of 24 March 2022, will be eligible to apply for the Priority Allocation Process, which will place the domain names on ‘Priority Hold’ for a six-month Priority Application Period ending on 20 September 2022.
Priority Hold prevents third parties from registering existing .au domain names in ‘.au’ direct form. This aims to provide existing registrants with the opportunity to register the ‘.au’ direct exact match of their existing domain names, subject to priority categories rules.
