The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) took the step during its clean up of the national charity register.
Across Australia 392 charities had their charity status revoked.
They were among about 56,000 charities transferred to the ACNC from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) in December 2012.
ACNC commissioner Susan Pascoe AM said the group of charities had not been in contact with the ACNC or responded to multiple letters and calls since the federal charity regulator's establishment.
"We believe these charities are no longer in operation, hence why we are revoking their charity status," Ms Pascoe said.
"The ACNC is committed to providing the Australian public with a charity register that is credible, accurate, and up to date, and this exercise is a key part of that process.
The ACNC's list published this week included the Foundation For Australian Agricultural Women and Tablelands Lung Care, both with a Mudgee postcode, Boomerang Housing & Advancement Corporation Ltd, with a Condobolin postcode, and White Cliffs Telecentre Incorporated, with a White Cliffs postcode.
Charities that have their status revoked that are still operating will have their application to re-register with the ACNC fast-tracked once they have lodged any overdue reports.
Ms Pascoe foreshadowed further revocations for charities that have not met their legislative obligations with the ACNC.
