How Quillio supports pro bono work
Quillio supports pro bono work directly — discounted pro bono licences for legal aid practitioners and community legal centres, matter templates for common pro bono work (tenancy, debt, migration), and usage reporting that helps firms meet the National Pro Bono Target. Contact the Quillio team for pro bono pricing.
Pro bono licensing
Quillio offers discounted and free licences to community legal centres, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander legal services, and qualifying pro bono programs. The discount is not a token — it is a material discount that makes Quillio accessible to services with tight budgets.
Templates
Common pro bono matter types have templates — tenancy applications, debt defences, migration review applications, Centrelink appeals, and family violence intervention orders. Templates pre-load the matter structure and the relevant Act references so a volunteer lawyer can start productive work faster.
National Pro Bono Target reporting
Firms that have signed up to the Australian Pro Bono Centre's National Pro Bono Target need to report their pro bono hours annually. Quillio's usage reporting separates pro bono matters (flagged at setup) so the annual report is straightforward.
Common issues
- Pro bono licences are issued to organisations, not individuals — individuals volunteering through their firm use their firm licence
- Matter types are configurable — firms doing pro bono in a specific area can request a custom template
- National Pro Bono Target reporting uses the matter-level "pro bono" flag — make sure it is set at matter creation
