The Local List
Free Australian business directory with live ABN checks
Posted Tuesday, October 13, 2026
The Local List is a free directory of Australian local businesses. It has over 14,000 listings across every state and territory in 68 categories, including plumbers, electricians, cafes, accountants and cleaners. People search by suburb, category or keyword and see contact details, opening hours and reviews for each business. Every category also has pages by state and city, so someone in Perth looking for an electrician sees Perth electricians first. Business owners can add or claim a listing for free. When they enter an ABN, we check it live against the Australian Business Register and show a Verified badge if it's active. A free listing can carry a logo, description, hours, service areas and a link to the business's own website. Owners who want more visibility can buy a one-off A$29 Premium listing, which ranks them above free listings in their category and adds a photo gallery and an enquiry form. There's no subscription. We only list Australian-owned or Australian-run businesses, and signing up never leads to a sales call. The Local List is run by MCD Automotive Pty Ltd in Brisbane.
