Learn more about the new .au domain space commencing in March 2022

For the first time, from 24 March 2022, Australians will be able to register internet domain names directly before the .au, such as victorianchamber.au. If your business has a website, this webinar is relevant for you.

Please join us for this presentation from .au Domain Administration (auDA) CEO Rosemary Sinclair AM who will explain how the new system will work and what it means for your business’ online presence.

The new namespace will:

• Create a wider choice of available names for website and email addresses in the trusted Australian domain
• Provide users with the opportunity to register shorter, more memorable domain names for website and email addresses
• Provide website and email addresses that are easier to type and display on mobile devices.

The introduction of .au direct is the result of significant public consultation conducted in 2015, 2018 and 2019, and will bring Australia in line with many other country code Top Level Domains including the United Kingdom (.uk), Canada (.ca), the USA (.us) and New Zealand (.nz).

The session will include a moderated Q&A session with Mrs Sinclair via written chat. If you’d like to submit a question prior to the webinar, please email events@victorianchamber.com.au.

Additional information is available on the auDA website.

Recently, auDA also released the inaugural Digital Lives of Australians report that included a survey of 1,500 Australian consumers and 400 small business owners about their online experiences. Mrs Sinclair will share the insights from the report including the top consumer and small business cyber concerns and challenges.
