.org.au Domain Name Registration and Search

The .org.au extension is a top-level domain country code (ccTLD) used in the Internet’s domain name system (DMS). It is used for Australian-registered nonprofits including NGOs, open source projects, charities and educational groups. It is one of the most effective online ways to display your organisation as one of such groups!

Webcentral proudly provides Australian nonprofits with .org.au registration, hosting and search functionality. You will have to choose a specific .org.au extension for your nonprofit and pay a registration fee. What’s more, your nonprofit may be subject to the following eligibility requirements:

Being an Incorporated Association under state or territory legislation
Being an organisation with guarantee limitations through the Corporations Act 2001
Being a registered political party (with regards to the Commonwealth Act 1918)
Being a charitable trust endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient by the Australian Taxation Office

And certain other possible requirements depending on your organisation’s nature. If you have any doubts, simply contact our web hosting experts and they will be able to clear any grey areas regarding your organisation’s eligibility.

Once you are registered you can leave the rest to our experts. We provide world class website creation, hosting and marketing for Australian nonprofits, ensuring that your message is clearly conveyed to a wide target audience.

Once provided, your web address will read something like this: www.example.org.au

The benefits of a .org.au domain name include:

**Authority:** Convey your nonprofit as an industry authority. The .org name is one that shows that you are a nonprofit working towards a defined message that your target audience will find easy to search.

**Local authority:** Whether you’re a nonprofit operating for an Australian cause, international cause or both, this will help direct local traffic to your website. This is ideal for Australian nonprofits trying to win assistance from the Australian public for their cause.
