Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide to filing a complaint:<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Lodge a Complaint with the Registrar<\/h3>\n<p>Your first step is always to contact the registrar of record, the provider that registered the domain name. Even if the domain was bought through a reseller, the registrar of record handles complaints.<\/p>\n<p>Once you file your complaint, the registrar has 30 calendar days to resolve it. If more time is needed, they must let you know.<\/p>\n<p>They will then send you an email with their decision and the reasons behind it.<\/p>\n<p>You have the right to request a review if you\u2019re not satisfied.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><em><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Use the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crazydomains.com.au\/whois\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WHOIS lookup tool<\/a>\u00a0to find out who the registrar of record.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Step 2: Request a Review from auDA<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019ve tried resolving the matter with the registrar and aren\u2019t happy with all the avenues, you can submit a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.auda.org.au\/au-domain-names\/complaints-and-disputes\/au-complaints\/submit-a-complaint\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">complaint with auDA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how the timeline works:<\/p>\n<p>If the domain was cancelled, you have five calendar days to request a review.<\/p>\n<p>For all other matters, you have 28 calendar days from the date of the decision by the registrar.<\/p>\n<p>auDA will look into your request and respond within 28 calendar days. They can either:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Affirm the registrar\u2019s decision<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Revoke it<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Send it back to the registrar for review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They will send their decision to you via email.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Internal Review of auDA\u2019s Decision<\/h3>\n<p>If you are not satisfied with auDA\u2019s decision, you can ask them for an internal review.<\/p>\n<p>This request must be made within 48 hours from the time auDa notified you about the decision.<\/p>\n<p>The review will be handled by a senior auDA staff member who wasn\u2019t involved in the earlier decision. They may:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Affirm the previous decision,<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Change it, or<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Cancel it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You\u2019ll receive an email with the result of this internal review.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: External Review by the Licence Review Panel<\/h3>\n<p>If you are still unsatisfied with the decision, you can go for an external review by the Licence Review Panel. This panel is independent and doesn\u2019t include any auDA staff or registrars.<\/p>\n<p>To apply, you must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Submit your request through the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.auda.org.au\/about-auda\/contact-us\/general-enquiry-form\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general enquiries form<\/a>\u00a0within 10 calendar days of the internal review decision.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pay a fee:<\/strong>\u00a0AUD $1,100 (incl. GST) for 1\u20135 domain names, plus AUD $165 for each additional domain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your case will be assigned to a panel member and reviewed based on submitted materials.<\/p>\n<p>The panel must provide a decision within 10 calendar days and state the reasons in writing. They may:<\/p>\n<p>Agree with auDA:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Set aside the decision<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Make a new decision<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Send it back to auDA for reconsideration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Legal Action<\/h2>\n<p>You are free to take legal action under Australian law. However, once you start legal proceedings, you can\u2019t continue with a complaint under the auDA Licensing Rules.<\/p>\n<p>This means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">You can\u2019t file a complaint for the same issue again.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Any ongoing auDA complaints process will stop.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">You can\u2019t reopen a complaint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crazydomains.com.au\/learn\/mistakes-to-avoid-while-choosing-au-domain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Common Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing a .au Direct Domain<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The .au domain complaints process is designed to be clear, fair, and accessible for everyone.
