This paper is part of a series describing the results from the Australia Telescope Hubble Deep Field-South (ATHDFS) survey obtained with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. This survey consists of observations at 1.4, 2.5, 5.2, and 8.7GHz, all centered on the Hubble Deep Field-South. Here we present the first results from the extended observing campaign at 1.4GHz. A total of 466 sources have been cataloged to a local sensitivity of 5{sigma} (11{mu}Jy rms). A source extraction technique is developed that (1) successfully excludes spurious sources from the final source catalogs and (2) accounts for the nonuniform noise in our image. A source catalog is presented, and the general properties of the 1.4GHz image are discussed. We also present source counts derived from our ATHDFS 1.4GHz catalog.
