Pro bono, fee-free, legal services for women, gender diverse and first nations people.
Violet Co is a signatory to the Australian Pro Bono Centre’s National Pro Bono Target. Each year we dedicate a portion of our time to support clients that do not have the means to access the justice system.
We work with women, gender diverse and first nations people who have experienced sexual assault, sexual harassment, discrimination and other gender or race-based issues.
Additionally, we offer pro bono and discounted rates for our for-purpose clients who are charities or social enterprises.
In FY23 we supported individuals, non-profit organisations and advocated for legal reform. You can read about the impact we’ve had here. The team provided a total of 1,061 hours of legal services on a pro bono basis. That’s approximately 21 hours or 3 days per week of our Solicitors time.
In FY22 we provided a total of 615 hours and in FY21 265 hours through our pro bono program.
