Register your centre with .edu.au
Did you know that preschools and child care centres registered with an appropriate accrediting organisation such as an Australian or state government department are eligible to register a .edu.au domain name? Your name will also contain a state level code such as kindykids.sa.edu.au that will indicate the state where your centre is based. Having a .edu.au domain name is added reassurance to clients that the centre is committed to meeting quality standards, provides educational programs and is eligible for government grants and subsidies.
