Transfer my .au Direct Priority Application to Information Brokers

.au Direct domains (example.au) became available in March 2022.
An initial 6 month priority window allowed owners of existing AU domains (eg. example.com.au / example.net.au) the chance to secure the corresponding .au Direct domain (example.au). This window closed on 20th September 2022.

If multiple Category 1* owners submitted a Priority Application during the priority window, the new .au Direct domain is considered as 'Contested'.
To retain 'active interest' in a Contested .au Direct domain, the Priority Application must be renewed by the 20th September each year.

Applicants have the freedom to transfer their application between Accredited Registrars.
The transfer window for Priority Applications runs between 23rd June to 20th September.

Costs

  • Transferring a Priority Application is Free
  • The renewal price for Priority Applications is the same as a 1 year .au Direct domain renewal - see our prices here
