To expand on something I hinted at here, if the organisation is an
association or similar, then it should register in asn.au.

The policy for org.au says that it is for organisations which do
not belong anywhere else in .au.  (There is a common misconception
that org.au is for non-profit organisations - presumably the reason
for that misconception is once you take out commercial, government
and educational organisations, the largest group left is non-profit
organisations.)

Also the asn.au registrar (which is run by a company) is generally
a lot quicker and more responsive than the org.au registrar, in
spite of the fact that asn.au registrations are currently free.
