Mediation

We have a team of registered Family Dispute Resolution Providers (FDRP) under the Family Act. We provide mediation services to assist people experiencing divorce or de facto separation to sort out arrangements for the children including drawing up a parenting plan, resolving parent-teen conflicts or parenting disagreements and division of property. Our team are also authorised to provide a certificate to confirm to a court than an attempt at family dispute resolution was made.

A further service provided by our team is child-inclusive family dispute resolution. This enables children to talk to talk to a professional about how they are feeling regarding the separation/divorce. With the child’s permission this information is then used to assist the separating couple actively considering the unique needs of each child.

We understand that separation is often a time of high emotional stress and conflict, making it difficult to discuss and resolve tough issues. Our team endeavours to guide you through the issues and challenges towards a workable resolution.
