How to Register an Australian Domain (.au)
The .au Domain space is tightly controlled and only an Australian company can register .com.au Domains. The good news is it's relatively simple for a New Zealand company to register in Australia.
This is not legal advice, but a basic guide. We recommend consulting an advisor before proceeding!
