Checking this - something seems a bit odd.
Are you sure that your .org.au url is still valid?

Hi Pam

I've never checked before and just using the same charlestowntoastmasters.org.au/ which our Club has always used. Upon Google searching I found the following: 
(1) To check if a .org.au domain is valid in Australia, you can use the  auDA WHOIS service . This service provides information about the registration details, including whether the domain is still active and if the registrant is current ...
(2) Result - see attached screen shot JPG, "auDA WHOIS service - check if valid in Australia - charlestowntoastmasters.org"
(3) It shows our contact as "Ross Kelly", who is a long standing member of our Club so I will contact Ross in the interim.
(4) It also shows the below message, which appears unusual:  Status: serverRenewProhibited identitydigital.au/get-au/whois-status-c...erverRenewProhibited
Status Reason: Not Currently Eligible For Renewal
Regards
Greg DeLore

.org.au was restricted a few years ago - I think that it is only available to Toastmasters clubs if they are incorporated.  Yours might have just been renewed shortly before that change was announced, and might not be renewed when next due.   One of my clubs was affected and reverted to just the FTH domain, but that was some time ago.  I'm surprised that any Toastmasters club websites are still using it.  See www.auda.org.au/au-domain-names/the-diff...%20ending%20in%20.au.

Hi Pam

Thanks again for your guidance.

FYI response from Ross Kelly:  "... I updated the renewal dates for our domain service provider on the FTH. We are financial till 28/2/2026. We may not be able to use the .org.au after this date. Will discuss tomorrow."

Looks like something on our side we will need to look at.

Regards
Greg DeLore

Your SSL certificate seems good - it has been renewed to 4 August.  Certificate renewals run regularly, so you should be fine until your url expires. 
I suggest you set up an alias now, and start using that.  If you use charlestown (if that is available)  as an alias, the url will be charlestown.toastmastersclubs.org
Both of those will work until your .org.au version expires
