01 / Overview
What is .org.au?
.org.au is the Organisation extension under Australia. Direct second level names like brand.au were launched in 2022. Before that only .com.au and similar were possible.
.org.au has an eligibility check. Only Australian non profit organisations and charities can register an org.au domain. You need proof of non profit status in Australia, such as charity registration or an ABN for a non profit body. Send us the papers on WhatsApp or email and we handle the registry side.
Here is how it looks in real life. A registered Pakistani community charity in Melbourne can use an org.au name for its work.
You can register .org.au for 1 to 5 years at a time. Renew before the expiry date to keep your website and email running. If it expires, there is a redemption window of about 30 days, but the restore fee is higher than a normal renewal.
Moving .org.au to DomainWalay is simple. Unlock the domain at your current provider, get the auth code (also called EPP code), and start the transfer here. New registrations and recent transfers have a 60 day lock. Most transfers finish in 1 to 5 days.

transfer rules for .org.au
Renew .org.au any time before expiry. Auto renew is available in the client area. After expiry there is a grace period of about 30 days where renewal is still at the normal price, but the website may stop working. After that comes a redemption period of about 30 days with a higher restore fee. When all periods end, the name is released and anyone can register it.
Transfers of .org.au need the domain to be unlocked and a valid auth code from the current registrar. A domain cannot move within 60 days of registration or a previous transfer. The registrant email must approve the request. Typical time is 1 to 5 days. Eligibility rules also apply to the new owner.
A .org.au name goes through these stages: Active for the paid term, then Expired with a grace period of about 30 days, then Redemption for about 30 days, then Pending delete, then released.
DNSSEC is supported for .org.au. You can add DS records from your DNS panel once your DNS provider signs the zone.
The .org.au registry publishes some registrant data. Privacy protection is not available for this extension, so use a business address and email.
