Use the official auDA Priority Status Tool to look up the priority allocation status for a .au direct domain name, as well as review the status for all applicable existing domain names against it. This will help you identify whom the registrant may need to contact and negotiate with to secure a contested .au direct domain name.

The tool will display matching names to the .au direct name with the following labels:
• Priority category 1: Domain names with a creation date on or before 4 Feb 2018
• Priority category 2: Domain names with a creation date after 4 Feb 2018 and before 24 Mar 2022

Along with one of the following status labels:
• Applied: The registrant has applied for priority status to register the exact match of the name in .au,
• Not applied: Registrant has not yet applied for priority status to register the exact match of the name in .au,
• Declined: Registrant has indicated they either do not wish to register the exact match of the name in the .au namespace or have withdrawn their priority status.
