B2B leads in Australia. Start from the register.
International contact databases are built largely from websites and profiles, and many small and mid-size companies in Australia barely show up in them. The official register has every company. Here is how to go from the register to a list you can work.
What Atlas holds for Australia
Source: the Atlas database, updated automatically.
1. The official sources
- ASIC: registered companies with ACN, status and officeholders (extracts are paid).
- Australian Business Register (ABR): ABN, entity type, GST status and business names. ABN Lookup is free.
- Industry codes follow ANZSIC.
2. Define the segment
Use three coordinates the register can answer: the industry code, the region and the size. Add a reason to get in touch now, such as a newly registered company, a new director or a won public tender.
3. Remove closed companies
Check the ABN status (active or cancelled) and the ASIC registration status before contacting. Read more in our register audit.
4. Find the contact
The company's own website gives the contact page, the management and open jobs. Check that the website really belongs to the company, with the registration number or a distinguishing name on the page. Parked domains and pages of another company with a similar name are a common source of wrong data.
5. The rules for outreach
The Spam Act 2003 requires consent for commercial email in Australia. Consent can be inferred in limited cases, for example when an address is conspicuously published and the message relates to the recipient's role. Every message needs sender details and an unsubscribe.
This is a general overview, not legal advice.
How Atlas helps
Atlas searches companies by industry, region and registration date, and looks for the website, phone, email and decision-maker in public sources. The source is shown next to every piece of data, and if nothing is found the field stays empty. Coverage varies a lot by country, see the measured coverage page. Price: 600 euros for two months plus VAT, no credits.
