Who we are and what we do
.au Domain Administration (auDA) is a not-for-profit organisation that manages the .au domain. Our purpose is to administer a trusted .au for the benefit of all Australians and champion an open, free, secure and global internet.
We’re endorsed by the Australian Government and operate under an agreement with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the international body that coordinates the internet’s naming and numbering system to manage the .au domain name system (DNS).
The .au is Australian critical infrastructure, relied on by millions of internet users in Australia and around the world. Each time you visit a .au website or send an email to an address that ends in .au, the .au DNS works behind the scenes to connect you to the right destination online.
We support the needs of Australian internet users by:
- Delivering a stable, secure and reliable .au DNS
- Implementing .au policy rules that are transparent, responsive and efficient
- Investing in the Australian internet ecosystem to improve the utility of the .au domain.
We also participate in global internet governance processes. Through advocacy and active participation, we strive to unlock positive social and economic value for Australians through an open, free, secure and global internet. We connect with the Australian public through the .au membership program. Any adult citizen can join us as a member to have their voice heard and contribute to the .au domain.
