To own a .com.au or .net.au you must be an Australian registered company, or business with a registered business number (ABN, BRN, BN).

The domain name you order should have either be an exact match, acronym or abbreviation of the supplied business registration, or it should bear a close and substantial connection to the domain name:  

For example:-

The Ford Motor Company would be reasonably entitled to own:-
www.fordmotorcompany.com.au
www.ford.com.au
or
www.mustang.com.au
www.fordfocus.com.au
