What does it mean that CLSS is a social enterprise?
CLSS is a purpose-driven business that operates to create social impact, not just profit. As a social enterprise, we reinvest a portion of our revenue — at least 20% — into providing free or subsidised legal system navigation support to people who would otherwise go without help.
How does the cross-subsidy model work?
When clients pay for our services, part of that fee helps fund services for people in financial hardship. In other words, your payment helps someone else access support when they need it most. It’s a model that allows us to be financially sustainable while staying true to our mission of accessibility and compassion.
Who qualifies for subsidised or pro bono support?
We offer subsidised or free support based on factors like financial hardship, housing insecurity, or domestic and family violence risk. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, just contact us — we approach every case with care and without judgment.
Can I choose to "pay it forward" or contribute to the social mission?
Absolutely. Many clients, partners, and supporters choose to pay a little extra or donate to help extend our support to others. If you’re interested in contributing, get in touch — your support directly funds access to justice for vulnerable members of our community.
Is CLSS a charity?
No, CLSS is not a charity —we operate like a business but prioritise social impact over profit. This allows us to be sustainable and community-responsive without relying entirely on grants or donations.
What are your fees?
We strive to keep our services affordable. You can find detailed pricing information on our website, or feel free to reach out for a chat.
