The .gov.au means it’s official

Australian government websites always use a .gov.au domain. Before sharing sensitive information online, make sure you’re on a .gov.au site by inspecting your browser’s address (or 'location') bar.

This site is secure

The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the official website and that any information you provide is encrypted and transmitted securely.
