What is CLASS?

CLASS (Community Legal Assistance Services System) is a data application that has 3 main functional areas:

Data entry front end (where most centres enter their client and service data)
National database repository (where data entered by centres is collated for reporting purposes). This repository also collates data from other front end data entry applications, such as Actionstep, Consenus, Salesforce, Smokeball etc,
Reporting functionality – used by other organisations to report on de-identified and aggregated data to meet their NLAP, Commonwealth, State and other funding providers funding program acquittal requirements.

All community legal centres funded under the National Legal Assistance Partnership Agreement (NLAP) must use CLASS to report service data under their funding agreements.

Community Legal Centres Australia works with an external provider to maintain CLASS and to generate de-identified data reports for the Commonwealth and state and territory governments.
