Thanks Doug for posting the link to MAPRAD.IO, you beat me to it 
I'm one of the developers on this project. We aimed to address some of the shortcomings of the current register searches, mainly speed and the user experience in general.
Currently MAPRAD.IO will show all of the Australian licences that are 'mappable' and leaves out some licence types such as 'Amateur: Standard' and 'Amateur: Foundation', which have no location information associated.
Now that the interest from the amateur radio community is growing we'll address this and you'll be able do searches on your individual callsigns.
Also please note, you can do a case insensitive callsign search via the 'Quick search' box that's always visible in the top bar, along with licence numbers, addresses, etc. As already mentioned you won't yet be able to find your individual licence records but you will be able to find all of the repeaters operating in Australia (for example).
Something you might find useful is to bring up a map showing them all. If you go to the Advanced Search page and select the 'Amateur: Amateur Repeater' option from the 'licence type' dropdown and click 'Search', it will map them out for you and categorise them in the filters option on the left. You can then drill further down, e.g. showing only results in the VHF band, and then export these results to other formats like Google Earth.
It's always good to get some feedback, so if you guys have any other suggestions please contact us or even post here.
As representatives of the amateur radio community in Australia, is there a particular feature or data that you would like to see in a tool like this?
