No that you have to do separately (correct me if I am wrong anyone) Here you can find heaps of info, http://www.business.gov.au/Business...w+business/What+do+I+need+to+register+for.htmDean26 said:Really? Thanks for the info. Does registering for an ABN make you a registered business?

I have 2 NN.com.au - 78.com.au , 87.com.au and 2 LLL yin.com.au and lug.com.au.

The worst thing is proving that something isn't a misspelling. Proving a negative so to speak.
The worst one I had taken was acc.net.au - it was an expired IT domain that I rego'd then put up a mini site, also in the IT area. It was deemed to be a typo of abc.net.au. I was given 7 days to prove that it wasn't a typo... how on earth can you do that!
Anyway rant over - they certainly mean well at auDA & they are approachable for discussion.

auDA said:In a series of reforms announced this week (feb 2008), the Australian Domain Name Administrator (auDA) has regulated against domain traders by outlawing the practice of registering a domain name for the sole purpose of reselling it.
Shucks, too bad I have an ABN. Your complaint probably got trashed the moment it saw it was a valid ABN. I am surprised a vigilante enforcer like you wouldn't bother to read your own auDA rules.Barefoottech said:Current Aussie Typo Prohibited name List

But be aware these names can/do/will appear in any available check at registrars/resellers sites. It is the BUYERS that need to check and be certain any selected name is NOT on the prohibited list.
I have contacted auDA about your ownership and other Users also owning Australian names illegally.
I know several members of auDA that regularly check Forums & Auctions checking for NON compliant Owners of Australian Domains.
Plus general warning to all AUSSIE Domainers discussing buying names for resale.
Aussie names are still primarily for usage, not resale so all focus of discussion should be about parking,developing and then reselling based on the potential or realised value of the name.
1. To be eligible for a domain name in the com.au 2LD, registrants must be:
a) an Australian registered company; or
b) trading under a registered business name in any Australian State or Territory; or
c) an Australian partnership or sole trader; or
d) a foreign company licensed to trade in Australia;
2. Domain names in the com.au 2LD must be:
a) an exact match, abbreviation or acronym of the registrant’s name or trademark; or
b) otherwise closely and substantially connected to the registrant.
Good on you mate! Curious to know what name you sold and where you sold it (ie how you found the buyer). Understand if you don't want to reveal this in public, but you can always PM me with the infonetfleet said:Be aware, when you sell a com.au, all registrars are charging fees. Seems to vary from A$50 to A$300+!
It does include a further 2 years of registration though.
I just sold one domain for a case of beer so a $50 fee on top made quite a difference (although the buyer will cover it)

Unfortunately, it seems like your domains don't follow this rule:
I don't see your "variety of names" being connected to the registrant. I have reported you to the auDA domain police. :yell: :yell: :yell: :yell:
