Additional information
Registering a company name doesn't give you exclusive rights over the use of a name. It's also a good idea to check that the name isn't already a trademark.  

Trademarks  
If you want exclusive rights to a name, you'll need to register it as a trademark. To apply for a trademark, go to IP Australia’s websiteExternal Link and learn about TM Headstart.  

Using TM Headstart is a good way to apply for a trademark if you're unsure of the process. The service is confidential and no one will see your trademark until you're ready to file.
