Thanks for the update. I'm not sure how AusRegistry's systems operate so
I'm wondering if changes to the front-end system will be visible to
registrants or if that means that registrars will then need to modify
their systems.

Well it looks like your upstream provider is Connect.com.au who already
have IPv6 address (since 1999), so it should be a relatively quick
exercise I hope.
