Exceptional Governance Advice and Strategic Support
I was fortunate enough to come across Genevieve and her team when our organisation needed support elevating its governance architecture and preparing for DGR submission. I must say that I can be a difficult person to impress, but Genevieve absolutely blew me away. The Non-Profit Specialists team brings strategic thinking, multidisciplinary insight, pragmatism and agility, all while being incredibly mission and values aligned.
What sets Genevieve apart personally is her rare ability to cut through complexity and turn it into clear, decisive direction. She is meticulous, commercially astute and exceedingly generous with her expertise, with a gift for anticipating the issues an organisation has not yet thought to ask about. Our board includes a number of highly qualified directors, several of them with law degrees, and Genevieve earned their confidence quickly and completely.
The things I valued most were the precision of her governance advice, the pragmatism of her proposals, and the relationships and networks she opened up to us. The impact continues today, as we still rely on the strategies and frameworks she developed with us. I recommend Genevieve and the team without reservation.
Taylor Hawkins, MD & CEO
Director, Foundations for Tomorrow Ltd
Exceptional Service and Expertise.
We had the pleasure of engaging Genevieve from Non Profit Specialists to assist our charity with restructuring and applying for DGR status. The experience was exceptional from start to finish. We had been operating for a decade without DGR, and no one else had been able to make us eligible for this endorsement until now.
Genevieve was wonderful to deal with, showcasing her expertise at every step of the process. She kept us consistently updated, ensuring we were informed and comfortable with all developments. Moreover, she efficiently handled all interactions with the ACNC and ASIC on our behalf, significantly easing our workload.
Her professionalism and dedication made a complex process seamless and stress-free. We highly recommend Genevieve and Non Profit Specialists for any non-profit organisation seeking expert guidance and support.

Director, Cooper Trewin Foundation Limited
Just incredible. Don't try to do this yourself.
I am forever grateful to Genevieve and the dedicated team at Non Profit Specialists for their invaluable assistance in establishing a charity that is close to my heart - a centre for children with Autism in Lebanon. Despite the challenges posed by the region where the funds would be utilised, and the endless red tape and compliance hurdles to get through the ACNC group interviews and hoops to be registered, Genevieve and her team approached the task with unwavering diligence, providing us with vital information and guidance at every stage of the process.
Thanks to their exceptional expertise, the entire setup was smooth and straightforward. We are fully registered to operate abroad and send tax-deductible donations overseas to support vulnerable people. We had governance sessions to learn about the External Conduct Standards and Risk Management. Their knowledge of charity set-up and operations in high-risk regions is exceptional. The insight, support and guidance from this team is next-level.
We wouldn't have been registered without them. The service is worth far more than you pay. Amazing value.
I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a seamless and informative experience in launching a charity.
Narelle Chamoun
Director, National Autism Community Limited
Professional. Extremely experienced. Reliable.
Nothing beats professionalism. Genevieve and the technical team at Non Profit Specialists have this in spades.
They made the whole process a pleasure instead of a nightmare.
I decided to set up a Charity – Googled what needed to be done – downloaded the forms and it all sounded simple. Then I started filling them in and panic started. I did not understand what things meant and wasted hours trying to find answers. Finally I decided to seek professional help.
I found Non Profit Specialists on the Internet, made contact with Genevieve – and that was the best thing I could have done.
It was a pleasure working with Genevieve and her team. Their insight and experience shines through.
We will happily use them again when we look to expand our activities and registrations internationally.
Roger L Price
CEO IIOPE, International Institute for Orthopostural Education
We highly recommend Non Profit Specialists.
Our charity is raising money for a children’s haven in South Africa. We tried on our own to register our company as a charity, but it was so complicated and we wasted so much time and stress and got nowhere.
We finally used Non Profit Specialists and they were excellent. Their guidance and expertise were superb. They were very responsive to our queries and were a pleasure to deal with. They guided us step by step, including ACNC interview preparation, governance sessions and extensive document preparation.
We could have never have done it on our own. The one off fee at the beginning worked well, as we were not continually having to dip into our pockets, yet their team did not hesitate to be very diligent with all matters. We are now a registered charity, with tax deductable status.
Fiona van Horen
Director, Solomon’s Haven Limited
Dedicated. Compassionate and knowledgeable.
We are truly grateful for Genevieve and her team as we wouldn’t have been able to realise our dream without their expert guidance and support.
From the first meeting, Genevieve understood our vision for The Cat Sanctuary and was happy to share insights and clear guidance on how best to move forward. Throughout the entire process, Genevieve and her team provided us with exceptional support and service and would answer any questions or concerns we had. We especially appreciated her team handling all interactions with ASIC and the ACNC on our behalf while keeping us updated, informed and comfortable with all developments.
If you’re looking for an extremely knowledgeable, professional and dedicated team to help you set up a charity, I cannot recommend Non Profit Specialists highly enough. Thank you Genevieve and the rest of the team as you’ve made a real difference in our lives, and in the lives of our feline friends. We look forward to working with you long term.
Catherine Topp
Director, The Cat Sanctuary Limited
Amazing. Expert Support. We are truly grateful!
Tribe Support wants to express our sincere gratitude for the exceptional guidance and support provided by Genevieve in setting up our Charitable Trust, Tribe Foundation.
From our very first meeting, it was clear that Genevieve and the team understood our vision for Tribe Foundation and were committed to helping us achieve it. Her insights and clear guidance have been invaluable in navigating the complexities of establishing our Foundation and maintaining registration. Throughout the entire process, they provided outstanding support and service, addressing every question and concern with professionalism and expertise.
Genevieve’s efforts ensured that we were always updated, informed, and comfortable with every development. This level of dedication and care has made a significant impact on our journey.
Thanks to their assistance, Tribe Foundation is now ready to offer restorative experiences for caregivers in need of respite. Our mission to support families throughout Australia by organising meaningful trips for carers, couples, and families is now a reality. These getaways will help alleviate burdens, promote healing, and enhance the well-being of those who provide care.
We cannot recommend Non Profit Specialists highly enough for anyone looking to establish a charity. Their knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated team has truly made a difference in our lives and in the lives of the caregivers we aim to support. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with them.
Thank you once again, Genevieve. You have been instrumental in realising our dream, and we are excited about the future of Tribe Foundation with your ongoing support.

Exceptional Service from Non Profit Specialists.
We are incredibly grateful to Non Profit Specialists for their outstanding assistance in reinstating our community group, the Spina Bifida Community of Western Australia, as a sole charity. Being based in WA, we had some reservations about working with a group located in NSW, but those concerns quickly disappeared. The communication from Genevieve and the entire team was excellent, and the turnaround on documentation was impressively fast.
They guided us through the ASIC and ACNC registration processes with clear explanations at every step. They were always available to answer our questions, making the entire process much smoother than we expected.
The value for money was exceptional - we truly feel it was money well spent. They enabled us to be eligible for and endorsed with DGR Status and gave us great assistance with the ACNC Interview preparation that the regulator puts applicants through.
Thanks to their professionalism, expertise, and dedication, we achieved something we once thought was completely out of reach.
Non Profit Specialists have saved our group and helped us secure a future we had only hoped for. We highly recommend their services to any organisation needing support.
Thank you, Non Profit Specialists, for helping us achieve what seemed impossible!
Rebecca Stitfall
Director, Spina Bifida Community of Western Australia Limited
Extremely knowledgeable, committed and supportive.
We wanted to start a charity to help empower our disadvantaged youth through the power of sports programs. When starting this journey we had a vision but had no idea about how to get going.
Genevieve and her team were extremely helpful in supporting us through each step of the registration process. Unfortunately, we ran into massive delays with the ACNC that were out of our control causing us to lose a bit of faith along the way, but Genevieve and her team were committed to getting us over the line and through ACNC application interviews. Their persistence and optimism were very reassuring during that uncertain period and after a lengthy wait we received our charity status, it was the best feeling!
We can't thank her team enough for not only assisting us with everything we needed to become registered but also giving us the tools to stay compliant moving forward.
We will be using Non Profit Specialists for support in the future.
Edith Rogers
Director, Legends Life Foundation Limited
Exceptional Support and Expertise – Highly Recommended!
Working with Non Profits Specialists has been an incredibly positive experience. Their team provided outstanding guidance throughout our journey to becoming a registered charity. From drafting our business plan and policies to reviewing critical documents, they ensured that every aspect of our application was well-prepared and aligned with ACNC requirements.
Their step-by-step assistance was invaluable, especially in preparing for the ACNC interview. The governance sessions were insightful and helped us strengthen our internal processes. Their professionalism, patience, and expertise made the entire process seamless and stress-free.
We highly recommend their services to any organisation looking for knowledgeable and reliable support in the not-for-profit sector.
Lilian Ebiringa
President, Advocacy and Compassion Services Inc.
A team that goes the extra mile
We couldn't be more impressed with the dedication and professionalism of Genevieve and her team. They went above and beyond to help us set up our foundation, working late nights and even weekends to make sure everything was done right and on time. Their commitment, communication, and attention to detail were outstanding throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!
Mr. David Costa
Mrs. Linda Cassar, LLB.
Walking with Ava Foundation Limited
Outstanding. Truly professional, knowledgeable and dedicated team.
I had spent 20 years in the police force and after retiring, I created a group that needed specialised services to make it a registered charity. After searching for the best, I found Non Profit Specialists.
My charity is a unique opportunity to help emergency services personnel and I was lucky enough to have Genevieve Andege as the lead on this. After the first zoom call, her professional experience, knowledge, compassion for my purpose and understanding of the process shone through and I knew we were in great hands.
It was clear for us they have been doing this for a long time. Their business brand may be fairly new but Genevieve and the technical team in this office have been working in the NFP sector for decades in other firms and businesses.
I cannot give enough stars to the team and Genevieve at Non Profit Specialists. They literally do go above and beyond to ensure everything is checked and tripled checked, and that you are kept in the loop and aware of what is happening all the way to the end. The process and technical hurdles to get registered and eligible to be DGR endorsed are a nightmare. They took all the stress and the admin away.
Experienced, reliable, knowledgeable, ethical and honest. Don't look any further. They nailed it and are simply amazing.
Nick White
Founder and Director, Bellator Fortitudinem Limited
Amazing. True experts.
We cannot recommend Non Profit Specialists highly enough! Genevieve and her expert team guided us seamlessly through the entire charity registration process. From the initial consultation, through the governance sessions to our final submission, their knowledge and support were invaluable. They were incredibly responsive to all our questions and concerns, making the often daunting process feel manageable and straightforward. They completely lightened the stress, burden and administrative load.
Thanks to their dedication and expertise, we are now a registered charity and excited to begin this new chapter.
If you are considering registering as a charity, look no further than Non Profit Specialists - they are the best!
Dr. Jumoke Banjo, FRANZCP
Director, IBADAN College of Medicine Alumni Association,
Australia and New Zealand Limited
Just Awesome!
I took over a Kenyan non-profit which was started and registered by someone else. I worked there for 15 years and after the death of our Founder and Director the decision was made to completely overhaul everything and start again.
From our first conversation with Genevieve and the team we knew we were in the right hands. They were so switched on, knew their stuff, empathetic, patient, and just a pleasure to deal with at all times.
They guided us closely through the complex process and the governance and compliance, assisting us with every step of the approval processes. They were always just a phone call away whenever we had even the smallest or most mundane question.
I have had to provide our credentials (that Genevieve helped us with) to various organisations who have held fundraisers for us and I have had responses like "I wish every charity was as professional as yours." This is thanks to the help Genevieve has given us.
If you want to be correctly established and fully set up but don't want to have the immense and complex workload on your shoulders, then do yourself a favour and call Non Profit Specialists. The process is extremely time consuming and overwhelming. I am so glad we outsourced this and used NPS as we could never had done this ourselves.
The NPS team will be handling our East African registration and assisting us long term in both regions.
Sandie Stirgess
Director, Mission in Action Kenya Limited
Expert Guidance for Non Profit Success!
I had the pleasure of working with Non Profit Specialists, and their expertise exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, their team provided a structured and supportive approach to establishing my charity. The step-by-step process was thorough and tailored to my needs. They guided me meticulously through the preparation for the ACNC interview, ensuring we felt confident and well-prepared. Their mock interview sessions and detailed feedback were invaluable in helping me articulate my charity’s mission and compliance with ACNC requirements.
The governance sessions were particularly insightful. The team broke down complex legal and operational requirements into simple, actionable steps. They provided practical templates, clarified roles and responsibilities for board members, and offered expert advice on compliance and risk management. The offer to continue with the technical support even after the registration process sealed the family relationship that was created during the process.
Beyond the technical aspects, the overall experience with Non Profit Specialist was outstanding. Their communication was prompt, their professionalism unwavering, and their genuine passion for helping shone through every interaction. Our Board truly felt like a valued clients throughout the entire journey.
Thanks to their support, our charity is now well-structured, compliant, and equipped to make a meaningful impact. I highly recommend Non Profit Specialists to anyone navigating the nonprofit world—they are truly experts in their field!
Lubuulwa Kizito Basalidde
Director, Uganda Rural Education Equity Program Limited
Dream team. Handled everything perfectly.
Our dream to create our charity, Never Alone, Fight Together (NAFT) for Veterans with PTSD would not have been possible without the expertise and professionalism of the team at Non Profit Specialists. From the beginning and all the way through the process, Genevieve and her team have been nothing short of amazing and transparent. They have been a huge help in teaching us about governance which we knew nothing about when we started.
A five star rating isn't high enough for the service they provided.
Genevieve is an incredibly kind and compassionate woman, who handled all our sensitivities as Veterans and supported us personally and professionally every step. Her compassion, diligence and professionalism resonate throughout the entire staff in her office. So thank you once again, and for anyone who wants to set up a charity, you should only use Non Profit Specialists.
Sam O'Neill
Managing Director, NAFT Limited
Exceptional service and support.
I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional support Genevieve provided when I first called to discuss my vision for setting up a charity. This cause is incredibly close to my heart, as it emerged from some of the toughest times in my life. I know many others out there are experiencing similar hardships and slipping through the gaps, and my charity aims to help them.
Genevieve was most helpful and understanding, making the entire process easy to comprehend with clear instructions. She and her team were always available for support, transforming my dream into a reality. They are a very competent and highly organised team. Thanks to them, my charity is now making a real difference in people's lives.
Arthur Burchett
Director and Founder, I'm Here Limited
Absolutely amazing service with expert knowledge!
10/10 in every possible category. We are so pleased we chose Non Profit Specialists. We did extensive research to find a company we could put our trust in and stopped looking after a short phone call with Genevieve at NPS. Genevieve was more than knowledgeable, she was passionate about our mission and this transcends to everyone who works at NPS. To know Genevieve is a charity founder and the NPS team and Counsel are active on Charity Boards gave us great comfort in knowing we are working with passionate and successful people who have been there before.
The company establishment, the ACNC application, additional documents and requirements with form after form can be so daunting and difficult when you’re trying to get going, but not with NPS. They literally took the whole administrative load off our shoulders and at such a great price. We had touch points along the way to attend governance training, give approvals on docs and information, and they did the rest. I loved the “no extra fee’s” the most. A flat sign up fee and regardless of my questions, letter requests etc etc. I didn’t have to worry about what that would cost. The other benefits are their networks and the additional services you get as a client, Genevieve has put us in contact with some great local resources. It doesn’t stop there though. I’m not great with PDF and word, I provided our business plan to NPS and they completely transformed it into an amazing document which we now supply to stakeholders. It’s the extra things that make all the difference.
We’ve already recommended NPS to other charities starting out. Call them now and I promise you won’t regret it.
Lachlan Barr
Director, Kindness4Kids Australia Limited
Exceptional service and extremely knowledgeable.
We are truly grateful for Genevieve and her team as we wouldn’t have been able to turn our dream into a reality without their expert guidance and support.
When it came to starting the charity process I found it very overwhelming but with the help from Genevieve and the technical team this complicated process was smooth and stress free.
They were all as invested in making Beyond the Rainbow a registered charity as I was and found their hard work and passion extremely helpful. The ACNC interviews and process is daunting and Non Profit Specialists made us confident and taught our team about governance and most importantly how to run a charity well. We wouldn’t be able to support the families we do without their help.
Highly recommend this professional team with amazing skills and a supportive nature.
Collette Butler
Director, Beyond the Rainbow Limited
Professional, Courteous, Timely, Expert Guidance and DGR Success.
We had the pleasure of working with the Non-Profit Specialists to get our charity registered and secure DGR status, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the outset, Genevieve and her team were exceptionally professional and courteous, guiding us step-by-step through the entire process. They provided clear and thorough preparation for our ACNC interview and conducted detailed governance sessions to ensure we understood the requirements and best practices for managing our charity. The team’s expertise and support were invaluable in navigating the complex procedures, allowing us to achieve DGR status in a timely manner.
We are incredibly grateful for their dedication, efficiency, and personalised assistance. Genevieve and the team made what could have been a daunting process feel smooth and manageable, and we highly recommend their services to any organisation looking to register a charity or not-for-profit organisation.
Ashan Ratnayake, CPA
Trustee, Nissoka Foundation Charitable Trust
Professional, experienced and a very personable service.
Non Profit Specialists have been truly great peeps! Our charity aims to raise sufficient funds to construct new buildings for a boarding school in Tanzania and provide kids in need with the essentials to secure an education and be nourished. We are newcomers to the NFP world and found Non Profit Specialists via a simple online search. An initial interview made both sides very comfortable that we could progress together and from that time on, we have had perfect guidance.
We progressed comfortably and easily through the ACNC charity registration processes under their direction, and they provided excellent support for our interview with the ACNC. We were very well informed by them on our obligations under the External Conduct Standards in the Governance and Compliance sessions we had. Their knowledge and anticipation of what would be required for an African project meant that our submission was perfect, just one small amendment in a policy was needed.
The next step was the application for ATO charitable concessions and DGR status. We were endorsed quickly and easily and with no further communication or back and forth from the ATO.
Non Profit Specialists input has provided us with a magic carpet ride all the way. There is absolutely no way we would have been able to do this ourselves.
Genevieve herself is personally involved in charities that operate overseas, and it was reassuring for us to be able to share similar experiences, but also to understand that she knows exactly what she is talking about surrounding high risk operational areas. We have found the team at NPS at all times to be prompt, courteous, focused, helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you again to Genevieve and the team. You would want them on your side and we recommend them without reservation. You are worth it!
Colin Stringfield
Director, Home for the Heroes Foundation Limited
Exceptional Insight and Service
Our team at Allergy Microbiome Foundation had the privilege of working with Non Profit Specialists to register our national food allergy charity in Australia, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience.
From the outset, their team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, ensuring every step of the process was handled with expertise and attention to detail. Their deep understanding of non-profit regulations and governance requirements made what could have been a complex and overwhelming process remarkably seamless.
What truly set them apart was their punctuality—every deadline was met with precision, and their proactive communication ensured that we were always well-informed. Their responsiveness and commitment to efficiency saved us valuable time, allowing us to focus on our mission from day one.
Beyond their technical expertise, we deeply appreciated their personal touch. They took the time to understand our vision for the foundation, offering tailored guidance and strategic insights that aligned with our goals. Their genuine passion for supporting non-profit initiatives was evident in every interaction, making us feel like more than just another client.
Thanks to Non Profit Specialists, the Allergy Microbiome Foundation is now successfully registered and positioned to make a meaningful impact. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking to establish a non-profit with confidence and ease.
We cannot thank them enough for their outstanding support!
Dr. Nina Markovic (PhD)

Outstanding support from start to finish
Working with Non Profit Specialists during the establishment of Living Alongside Foundation was a highly positive experience. Their expertise in the not-for-profit sector was evident from the beginning, and they provided thoughtful, practical guidance throughout the entire process.
Their approach was thorough and well organised, ensuring all aspects of our charity registration and governance were carefully considered. They supported our board to understand our responsibilities as directors and helped ensure our structure was appropriate for long-term growth and sustainability.
What stood out most was their professionalism and attention to detail. Every document, requirement and step was clearly explained, giving us confidence that our foundation was being established correctly and with future success in mind. Their support has helped ensure we are well placed to deliver meaningful support and advocacy for the community we serve.
We are grateful for their expertise and would confidently recommend Non Profit Specialists to any organisation looking for knowledgeable and dependable support when establishing a charity.

Director, Living Alongside Foundation Limited
Expert support that made our ACNC registration simple and stress-free
For any group considering getting assistance for their ACNC application, from day one Non Profit Specialists made what could have been an overwhelming process to apply for ACNC status, to feel manageable. Genevieve and the team took the time to explain complex legal requirements in plain, practical terms, which was a huge help for a newly formed group like Thrive Learn Connect Hub Qld Inc working with limited resources.
What stood out most was their flexibility to work in with our volunteers, and their team adapted around our schedules so we could meet every deadline without any added stress. To sum the experience up, they were professional, approachable, and genuinely invested in our success.
We couldn't have asked for better support in getting our application to the ACNC completed for submission.
Lindsay Manwaring
Director, Thrive Learn Connect Hub, Qld Inc.
The expert support every aspiring charity needs
Non Profit Specialists played an invaluable role in helping establish Growing Greener Futures, a not-for-profit organisation aimed at empowering individuals of all ages and backgrounds through hands-on horticulture, education, and community connection — building skills for employment, well-being, and a sustainable, greener future.
From the initial planning stages through to governance, legal documentation and the registration process, the guidance and support from Genevieve and her team was professional, thorough, and tailored to our organisation's vision.
Their expertise simplified what could have been a complex and overwhelming process. Every step was clearly explained, with practical advice that ensured our board understood its governance and compliance responsibilities while laying a strong foundation for long-term success. Their responsiveness, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to the not-for-profit sector gave us confidence throughout the journey.
We found Non Profit Specialists to be more than consultants—they became trusted partners who were invested in helping Growing Greener Futures become a well-governed, sustainable organisation capable of delivering meaningful community impact. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking to establish a charity or not-for-profit in Australia.
Chris Monsour, CPAg
Director, Growing Greener Futures Limited
Going above and beyond to help us succeed
We honestly cannot thank Non Profit Specialists, and especially Genevieve, enough for the phenomenal support they provided in establishing our charity, Frontline For Wildlife Limited. As one of the founding directors, I can confidently say that without their expertise, professionalism, and dedication, we would never have achieved charity status.
We came to them in an incredibly difficult position after a previous accountant had completely mishandled our application, leaving us in a disorganised mess and almost derailing our dream. Genevieve not only stepped in – she turned the situation around entirely. She understood our mission, restored structure and clarity, and guided us through the process with precision and genuine care.
From writing exceptional, values-driven policies to establishing robust and inspiring governance frameworks that truly reflected what our charity stands for, their attention to detail and strategic insight was second to none. Every interaction was professional, supportive, and reassuring – they truly went above and beyond.
The ACNC are conducting long interviews with applicants and we were very well prepared from the governance sessions we had with NPS. If you’re serious about launching a non-profit or transitioning your passion into a fully approved charity, look no further. Genevieve and her team are unmatched in knowledge, integrity, and commitment. They don’t just help you tick boxes – they help you build a lasting foundation for impact.
True experts and awesome to deal with. Highly recommended for any organisation with a real purpose and vision. We wouldn’t be where we are today without their help. Only go with NPS to assist you in registering your nonprofit or charity.
Legends!
Ryan Arford
Director, Frontline For Wildlife Limited
Professional, Knowledgeable and Highly Supportive
We had a very positive experience working with Genevieve, Kate Ganzon and the team at Non Profit Specialists. From the outset, they took the time to understand our organisation, our objectives and what we were seeking to achieve.
I dealt closely with Kate throughout the process and particularly appreciated her professionalism, responsiveness and attention to detail. She was always approachable, kept us informed of progress and promptly assisted whenever we had questions or required clarification.
Genevieve's expertise and guidance, together with Kate's ongoing support, made the entire process smooth and well managed. Their knowledge of the non-profit and regulatory environment gave us confidence that matters were being handled professionally at every stage.
We genuinely appreciated the team's commitment and the personal attention we received. I would highly recommend Genevieve, Kate and Non Profit Specialists to any organisation seeking knowledgeable, reliable and professional support in the not-for-profit sector.
Thank you Genevieve, Kate and the entire team for your excellent support. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
Vikram Sharma
Director, Nourish Foundation Limited
A 10,000/10 experience we would recommend to everyone!
Wow, from our very first meeting, Genevieve and the team have been incredibly supportive.
They took all the paperwork, admin and hard work off our hands, allowing us to focus on what truly matters, building our NFP, planning for the future and nurturing it into something meaningful. The team genuinely went above and beyond to make the entire process simple, clear and easy to understand. They were always there to answer our questions, guide us through each step and make sure we felt confident along the way.
Our experience was an absolute 10,000/10. We honestly couldn’t recommend Genevieve and the team highly enough. We’d recommend them to every man and their dog!
Thank you for making what could have been an overwhelming process feel so easy and enjoyable!
Venessa Lual

The Go-To team for NFP/Charity registration
We recently engaged Non Profit Specialists to assist with the establishment of our charity, House of Alms, and the experience has been exceptional from start to finish.
Their team guided us through every step of the process, including our governance framework, supporting documentation, ASIC registrations, and ACNC application. What initially felt like a complex and overwhelming process became straightforward thanks to their expertise, clear communication, and willingness to answer our questions (yes, even the silly ones!)
It was evident that they have a deep understanding of the not-for-profit sector and its regulations from day one.
We highly recommend Non Profit Specialists to anyone looking to establish a not-for-profit organisation. Their professionalism, knowledge, and support have been invaluable, and we are grateful for the role they have played in helping bring House of Alms to life.
Thank you to the entire team for your guidance and dedication.
Ashleigh Stenhouse
Director, House of Alms Limited
The kind of service that deserves to be shared
As a director of a not- for- profit as well as running a property law firm I was genuinely shocked at what a good service they gave. They made the entire process seamless and kept us all tracking with our obligations and explained things simply. Of course, what was important was that they achieved the results we paid them for and that they did! We obtained tax deductible status even faster than we could have expected with their guidance. Highly recommend.
Mandi Morison LLB
Director, Sustain-Ed Projects Limited
Clear answers, fair pricing, excellent service
We have greatly enjoyed working with Non Profit Specialists throughout our ACNC application process. Their team was very thorough in both the explanation and execution of every step, ensuring that we fully understood the requirements and obligations involved.
They were always helpful and willing to answer any questions we had, providing clear guidance and support whenever needed. Communication was excellent, with emails being returned promptly and issues addressed efficiently.
Their pricing was fair and reasonable, offering excellent value for the level of expertise and service provided. We appreciated their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to helping us achieve a successful outcome.
We highly recommend Non Profit Specialists to any organization seeking assistance with ACNC registration and not-for-profit compliance.
Susan Thompson
Director, Life of Victory Missions Limited
Fast, thorough and genuinely invested in our success
Genevieve and her entire team were outstanding in supporting us through the process of obtaining charity and DGR status for our member based not for profit organisation, One Of Us.
Their expertise, clear guidance and consistent communication made what could have been a complex and overwhelming process feel seamless from start to finish. They gave us real confidence at every step and helped us achieve registration much faster than we had anticipated.
What stood out most was not just their professionalism and knowledge, but how approachable, responsive and invested they were in helping us get the right outcome. For an organisation like ours, which is built around purpose and community impact, that support meant a lot.
I would highly recommend Non Profit Specialists to anyone navigating the charity and not for profit space. They delivered exceptional value, genuine care and a very high standard of service throughout.
Kyle Rogers
Director, One of Us Foundation Limited
If you’re starting a Charity, these are the people to call
Starting a charity is daunting enough, with all the confusing legislation that goes with it; you definitely need someone reliable to work with. Genevieve and NPS have been amazing to deal with, she answered all of our questions (even the silly ones) and really cares about helping and that we do well. They have been so patient with us and we're very glad that we chose non profit specialists to help us get our charity up & running. The knowledge they have is enormous and we loved that they are dedicated and only work with NFP and charity clients. Nothing was too much trouble and they definitely delivered! Thrilled we chose them. They run charities and taught us heaps along the way about operations and governance. I have referred to others looking to setup and register a charity.
Best experience ever. Do it!
Adriano Bamonte
Director, Disciples Retreat Limited
Quality work, quick turnaround and outstanding service
Working with Non Profit Specialists was an absolute pleasure. They supported Unique Minds Consultancy in setting up our not-for-profit affiliate company Connected Families Foundation and the entire process was handled with minimal stress. Their team is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, clearly experts in their field.
They were fast, efficient, and consistently helpful, making what could have been a complicated process feel simple and well-managed. The application they prepared on our behalf was thorough and excellent in quality.
I highly recommend Non Profit Specialists to anyone looking for reliable, expert assistance with not-for-profit setup. A fantastic service from start to finish.
Dr. India Bryce
Director, Connected Families Foundation Limited
A standout experience that exceeded our expectations
From the beginning, NPS gave us clarity and direction in what could have been a very confusing process. The governance meeting in particular was extremely valuable, it made sure that as directors we understood our responsibilities and felt prepared to take them on.
What stood out to me was how thorough yet practical their approach was. They didn’t overwhelm us with jargon, instead they gave us tools and documents we could actually use. It feels good to know that the work we’re doing is underpinned by solid governance and compliance. We are very grateful to NPS for all their guidance and support, we couldn’t have set up our charity without them!

Not just experts, but people who truly care
We cannot recommend Genevieve and her incredible team highly enough! From the very first moment we reached out, they made us feel heard, supported, and truly cared for — and that means everything when you are on a mission as close to your heart as ours.
We are the founders of Refashioned Future, an organisation dedicated to creating a safe harbour for vulnerable women, and navigating the charity registration process has been both exciting and overwhelming at times. But with Genevieve and her team by our side, we never felt alone for a single moment.
What truly sets them apart is not just their professionalism — which is absolutely outstanding — but the way they combine that expertise with genuine warmth and emotional support. Every question we had, no matter how big or small, was answered promptly, clearly, and with such kindness. They never made us feel like we were a burden. Quite the opposite — they made us feel like our mission mattered to them just as much as it matters to us.
Our ACNC charity application is still in progress, but thanks to the exceptional guidance and hard work of Genevieve and her team, we are confident and excited about the outcome. They have laid such a strong foundation for us and we truly believe we would not be where we are today without them.
If you are looking for a team that will go above and beyond — professionally, practically, and emotionally — look no further. Genevieve and her team are simply the best. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! 💛

Exceptional expertise and genuine passion
Genevieve and the team at Non Profit Specialists have been instrumental in getting Direct Impact Australia set up as a not profit organization and helped us register as a charity with the ACNC. After a lot of research, NPS stood out because of their years of dedicated NFP and charity experience. Their team are active on charity boards and knows how to run charities. NPS are dedicated to charities and NFPs, and it shows. They truly understand the sector and all facets of charity and not-for-profit operations and governance.
They helped us with the complex ACNC application and company establishment flawlessly, taking the stress out of the paperwork so we could focus on our mission. From governance training to polishing our business plan, they go above and beyond. The flat-fee structure provided great peace of mind, and their responsiveness and professionalism is second to none. We could not have reached this without their expert guidance.
Highly, highly recommended!

The right guidance for a cause close to our hearts
When I first started With You Kenya, I knew what I wanted to achieve but I had no idea how to actually set up a charity in Australia or Kenya. The company structure, registration process, ACNC application, governance, policies - it all felt overwhelming. Genevieve and Jeacyl made it manageable and achievable. They explained each step clearly, guided us through every requirement, and kept us moving forward until we were compliant.
What I valued most was that they weren't just focused on the paperwork, they genuinely cared about helping us build something that reflected our values. They asked the right questions, helped us put governance structures in place and gave us confidence as a board. Thanks to their support, what was once just a dream for the past 20 years is now a real charity with solid foundations for the future and the ability to change lives.
We would have been lost without NPS and I highly recommend them to anyone considering starting a charity.

Compassionate experts who make the hard parts easier
I run a cat rescue named Illawarra Cat Rescue Limited in the Illawarra NSW. We rescue, rehabilitate and rehome orphaned, abandoned and Lost cats and kittens. We were ready for the next step to become a NFP and Charity. Having no time to tackle this massive task I turned to the Non Profit Specialists. Genevieve and her team made everything make sense and made it easy. It is such a hard task to manage when you do not have that expertise and they explain everything and help you navigate the process. We are now a registered Charity, have Not for Profit Status and have the ATO's DGR status. Trust me, it is worth every cent and the cents can be claimed back. Thank you guys. I appreciate everything you did.

The difference between going it alone and having experts by your side

She explained every step with patience and insight, helping us understand our responsibilities and how to structure things properly for the future.
It’s rare to find a team that combines such deep technical expertise with genuine care and a heart for community impact. Their support has been invaluable, and we’re deeply grateful for their time, generosity, and commitment to seeing others succeed.

A daunting process made stress-free by true professionals
I'd like to thank the entire team at Non Profit Specialists team for their assistance and advice.
We had attempted to achieve our registration as a not for profit and found the entire process difficult to manage and extremely time consuming. Without the professionalism, support and knowledge of Non Profit Specialists, we simply wouldn't have been in a position to attain registration.
If we ultimately we are able to fulfil the goals of our organisation, then Non Profit Specialists will have had a great deal to do with that.

Easy 5 star review
We (briefly) considered setting up the charity ourselves, thinking we had the time and skills to do it ourselves. Having now finished the process with Non Profit Specialists we realise there is no way we could have done it ourselves.
Lovely staff with experience and expertise.
A rare situation where I would unconditionally recommend a company and its services.

From confusion to clarity in one call
My contact with Non Profit Specialists began when I read a very positive review online. I had no idea of how I can register a trust. In one phone call to the director, I was assured of all help and from day one it was smooth sailing. The discussions, team meetings, notes etc proved very valuable in getting through the complex paperwork. So if anyone would have a dream of setting up a trust, I would highly recommend this great of group whole are really true to their name.

Expert guidance that turned our vision for rural Kenya into reality
Wishing to establish a charity to improve school infrastructure in rural Kenya, our attempt to work through the extensive checks lists on the ACNC website proved to be too daunting.
Selecting Non Profit Specialists to help us was an excellent decision. They guided us, in fact much more than guided us, through every step of a complex process from establishing the initial company with ABN, creating our Charity and developing the many policies that we need to comply - especially having international interactions with children, to final submissions and approvals from ACNC and ATO.
Genevieve, Sue and Jeacyl’s collective expertise, support, efficiency and quick responses was invaluable, and we would never have achieved our goal without them. Their support doesn’t stop there, with post approval guidance on our duties going forward. They have helped deliver what will be an incredible opportunity for sponsors to help provide basic amenities to help these children learn and give them a better start to their lives.

Director, Darasa Initiative Limited

What stood out most was their ability to break down complex processes into simple, actionable steps, making what can often feel overwhelming both structured and achievable.
Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and commitment to our vision has given us complete confidence moving forward.
If you're looking for a team that not only knows their space but truly invests in your mission and impact, I highly recommend Non Profit Specialists. They have been valuable in helping bring our project to life.

A heartfelt thank you to a team that truly cares
As one of the Directors of M.A.T.E.S For Change, I can honestly say that working with Non Profit Specialists has been one of the best decisions we made for our organisation.
Genevieve and the team took us on a step by step journey from the very beginning. Each step was explained clearly so we always knew where we were in the process and what was coming next. They also prepared us thoroughly for our ACNC registration, making sure we understood what was required and that we were ready and confident going in. That guidance made a real difference and walked us through everything we needed to do to get it right. Nothing felt complicated or confusing.
What I really appreciated was that they genuinely care. It wasn't just about getting the paperwork done, the depth of knowledge and professionalism is exceptional.
For anyone thinking about setting up a not-for-profit or charity, I would absolutely recommend Non Profit Specialists. They make the whole journey feel manageable and even enjoyable. Thank you Genevieve and team, we are so grateful!

We highly recommend Non-Profit Specialists for any future charity incorporation work you may need and a special thank you to Jeacyl and Genevieve.

Specialists who take the time to understand
Our organisation had the absolute pleasure of working with Genevieve and her team. Navigating the unique regulatory landscape, compliance requirements, and funding challenges of the not-for-profit sector can be incredibly complex. They brought an exceptional depth of NFP industry expertise that immediately gave our board total confidence. Instead of offering a generic, one-size-fits-all solution, they took the time to deeply understand our specific community goals, budget constraints, and operational structure.

Expert guidance that made everything easier to understand
We’ve been working with Genevieve and the team from Non Profit Specialists over the past few months to establish and setup our charity and help with charity registration with the ACNC and secure DGR endorsement. From start to finish, they have been nothing short of incredible — professional, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping our wildlife rescue achieve its goals.
Every step of the process was explained clearly, and their communication was responsive, kind, and thorough. It’s been an entirely positive experience, and we couldn’t recommend their team highly enough to any non profit organisation or charity looking for expert setup and establishment services - and heartfelt support.
