Why become a .au member?
The .au is for all Australians and therefore it's important we get input from a diverse range of stakeholders on how this important digital environment operates.
With your support and input, auDA will continue to provide independent management of the .au and keep it a secure, accessible, trusted and Australian asset for all Internet users.
.au members play a crucial role in supporting the stable and reliable administration of the .au domain. Following consultation with members, auDA developed the .au member Statement of Purpose to articulate and define the role of .au members within the organisation.
