WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
That is a very good question and we are happy to answer it.
My Community Legal has a class-leading and volunteer-leveraging model. In terms of expense per client advice, we are the most efficient Community Legal Centre in the state – by far. Here is where our money goes:
- Wages of our Coordinator (our Principal Lawyer, Committee, advising Lawyers, Law Students and other Volunteers donate ALL their time);
- Rent (at charity rates donated by Gold Coast City Council);
- Membership fees to Community Legal Centres Queensland;
- National Accrediation expenses to Community Legal Centres Australia;
- Professional indemnity, public liability and other insurances;
- Office, stationery and printing expenses.
