The page may look different now._ ## Key findings - Automated classification: Sensitive Interaction Risk. - Domain age: 3 to 10 years (registration continuity). - Public web-archive history exists since 2017. - At least one reputation service TrustSniffer consulted had flagged this domain at assessment time. ## Full analysis ### Overview NFP Consultancy Services is a boutique Australian management consultancy presenting governance, change-management, financial-management, leadership, and SHRM support for not-for-profit organisations, with the apparent business model of paid advisory engagements, consultations, and retained services. ### Scam/Impersonation Risk The site’s content is consistent with a conventional consultancy and contains no detected login form, sensitive submission form, wallet connection, or obvious deceptive financial promise. However, this benign page presentation is outweighed by confirmed external reputation contradictions: three malicious detections, one suspicious detection, and a confirmed blacklist result from multiple external sources. The site therefore presents a material risk for sensitive interaction, and the available evidence does not establish that the apparent consultancy identity is independently verified. Evidence: - The homepage describes support for Australian charities, including governance, change management, financial management, and leadership development, and offers a confidential introductory consultation. - Domain continuity is 9.535934291581109 years, with the first archived record dated 2017-02-04T10:03:37Z. - Web archives record 274 snapshots from 2017-02-04T10:03:37Z through 2026-02-01T05:02:59Z, covering 10 years. ### Regulatory Verification Notes The homepage presents the organisation as a boutique consultancy with more than 20 years of sector experience and includes testimonials and contact information. No licence, registration number, or licensing authority is claimed in the supplied site content; for a consultancy, this is primarily a disclosure and identity-verification gap rather than standalone evidence of fraud. Registration data identifies Melbourne IT as registrar and Barry John Schipplock as the listed registrant, but that record does not independently verify the operating entity or its authority to provide the stated services. Evidence: - The homepage identifies “NFP Consultancy Services” and states that it supports not-for-profit organisations across the Gold Coast, Gladstone, and beyond. - The site’s service navigation includes Governance, Change Management, Financial Management, SHRM, and Leadership. - Hosting infrastructure is AS216180, WHG-AUS - WHG Hosting Services Ltd, GB. - The site’s TLS certificate is issued by YR2, uses DV validation, and is valid until 2026-10-22T10:57:56+00:00. ### What to Verify Next Before any engagement, an independent registry or corporate-records check should confirm the operating person or entity, trading name, and authority to contract. The applicable Australian regulatory or professional registry should also be checked for any authorisation relevant to the specific advisory service, while contact details and testimonials should be corroborated through independently sourced channels rather than relying solely on the website. Evidence: - The site does not provide a licence number or licensing authority for independent registry matching. - The homepage provides the primary identity, service descriptions, testimonials, and contact route that require external corroboration before a paid engagement. ### Summary Verdict The website has a plausible consultancy presentation and sustained historical presence, but the confirmed external threat detections and blacklist status control the assessment. Its overall posture is low trust, with sensitive interaction risk and an unverified real-world operator identity. ### Infrastructure Integrity The site resolves to two likely origin addresses and has no detected CDN or WAF layer. This provides no meaningful edge-level mitigation for exposure, although the hosting environment is technically resolved and identifiable. ### Closing Assessment Restrict activity to passive review until the operator, contractual identity, and relevant service authorisations have been independently confirmed; credentials, financial transactions, and other sensitive submissions should not be undertaken on the basis of the website alone. _Written analysis generated 2026-08-19 by the TrustSniffer Analysis Engine from the evidence in this report._ ## What the analysis found 2 findings contributed to this verdict, raised by registration and ownership, analysis engine. ### 01 Governance Risk - The public registration record for this domain is incomplete. (Registration and ownership `rule:KF_WHOIS_INCOMPLETE`) ### 02 Sensitive Interaction Risk - The analysis matched a pattern TrustSniffer treats as a direct threat to a visitor. (Analysis engine `signal:direct_threat`) ## Identity verification | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Status | UNVERIFIED | | Identity score | 30/100 | | Identity verification confidence | 50% | - No on-site identity signals detected _Identity verification measures whether the site can be independently connected to a real-world brand or person. It is separate from the classification confidence._ ## What TrustSniffer observed First-party facts recorded during the assessment of nfpconsultancy.com.au. - The request stayed on nfpconsultancy.com.au.

It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present. TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed. ## Related on TrustSniffer - [safetymarineaust.com.au risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/safetymarineaust.com.au) (Low Trust, 30/100) - [allpac.com.au risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/allpac.com.au) (Low Trust, 40/100) - [perthfix.com.au risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/perthfix.com.au) (Low Trust, 25/100) - [greenfieldsproperty.com.au risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/greenfieldsproperty.com.au) (Low Trust, 31/100) - [advancedmetering.com.au risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/advancedmetering.com.au) (Low Trust, 40/100) - [fixahole.com.au risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/fixahole.com.au) (Low Trust, 40/100) - [ceramichesassuoloshop.it risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/ceramichesassuoloshop.it) (Low Trust, 45/100) - [suburbancloud.ng risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/suburbancloud.ng) (Low Trust, 40/100) - [onedealaday.co.za risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/onedealaday.co.za) (Low Trust, 44/100) - [methstreams.gs risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/methstreams.gs) (Low Trust, 44/100) - [Every website and wallet TrustSniffer has assessed](https://trustsniffer.com/directory) - [Other domains assessed as high-risk or phishing](https://trustsniffer.com/directory/phishing-domains) - [Check another website](https://trustsniffer.com/web-intelligence) - [Check a crypto wallet address](https://trustsniffer.com/on-chain-risk) - [The TrustSniffer Risk Index](https://trustsniffer.com/stats) ## Guides - [Stablecoin Freezes, Sep 24, 2026: 26 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-09-24) - [Script Droppers: How This Download Scam Works](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/script-droppers-how-this-download-scam-works) - [Stablecoin Freezes Sept 23, 2026: 11 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-09-23) --- *Source: [TrustSniffer](https://trustsniffer.com/report/nfpconsultancy.com.au) — independent automated trust & fraud analysis.
