.AU opens to the public on the 22nd Sept 2022, but you can secure them under certain conditions.
Example: mydomain.au
Only domain name licences registered before 24 March 2022 at 00:00 UTC time are eligible to participate in the .au priority allocation process and retrieve priority tokens
If you own both mydomain.com.au and mydomain.net.au, so you can apply for priority on the mydomain.com.au and decline priority on the mydomain.net.au through AUDA, this tells AUDA that a resolution of the two domain types is resolved.

This way you own the .AU straight away and not having to wait until Sept. If the .net.au of a domain name isn't registered, then you can apply also for priority through AUDA and again you own it straight away. If the .net.au is own by someone else, you still need to put in for priority with AUDA and hope the other person doesn't or if they do AUDA then will try to resolve it.
