Pretty sure most countries use .ac for universities. Ac.uk, ac.au, ac.nz are all standard.

Australia doesn’t. We’re all .edu.au

Edit: here is the list of who uses it. Stands for academia if it wasn’t self evident to anyone else either.

2nd edit: having trouble with escaping characters in the link so it’s defaulting to the ac page when it should be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ac_(second-level_domain)

Sorry, remembered wrong.

Stands to reason, you guys like .com.au instead of .co.wherever as well.
