Services: What sort of service are you looking for in Australia personals, like ads, or a quiet chat room, a forum, speed dating or an Australia dating service? Most of these offer a similar options, some are free and some are not. Some give profiles and other such features while again others don't.
Location: Dating is all about the location, right? Look for a service that suits your location, these can range from international to national, to states and territories right down to your closest city and its surrounding suburbs and towns. The more concentrated the web site is, the more probability is there that you are going to meet people in and around your area.
Privacy, Safety and Security: Before we go on to features and other such information, we have to think about and know what sort of privacy, safety and security the web site, personal ad, chat room or service has. Even though most Australia dating sites take quite large precautions in user safety, it is always better to be safe than sorry especially if you pay for the service. Make sure that your credit card information will be protected and is done through a safe and reliable source. On-site user safety is another large need to know. Does the site show or hide your email, name and other contact information or is it the optional feature that you do yourself? What are their contact methods - instant message, email, private chat room or something else? What are their rules and punishment on harassment and violations? Is there a way you can ignore or send in a complaint about a person who is annoying, harassing or threatening you? Online dating or any other online activity should be fun carefree.

The ability to choose your own unique user name, so people don't know your name unless you tell them, also goes for the services that give you your own email within the web site so you don't have to reveal your own to other users. Searches where you can state age and other preferences and interests. Other features include pictures, voice and video chats, whispers, private chat rooms and instant messaging, who's online, technical support, special events and even mobile access.
