Who is auDA?

The Australian Domain Administrator (auDA) is a legal Australian body responsible for the administration of .au domain names. It is the policy authority and self-regulatory industry body for the .au domain space. It is formally endorsed by the Australian Government. Synergy Wholesale is recognised by auDA as a Registrar of .au domain names. This essentially means that we can register domain names and renew domain names that end with .au. Synergy Wholesale and all Synergy Wholesale approved resellers are subject to the rules and policies set forth by the auDA related to domain name registration. Further information relating to .au domain names, auDA, and the established policies can be found in auDA's Help Centre here. For any complaints related to domain name eligibility, please contact auDA for information about your rights and responsibilities.
