Our Services

Family Dispute Resolution

Family Dispute Resolution or Family Mediation is the process through which parents in conflict can meet, discuss and reach agreement on parenting issues and financial matters, all with the assistance of an objective and neutral third party in a calm and professional environment.

Parenting Plans

Parenting Plans are agreements about parental responsibilities after separation concerning where children will live, who will be caring for them and for what periods of time. Our mediators provide these agreements, and once signed and dated, they become a Parenting Plan.

Child-Inclusive Mediation

A trained child psychologist spends time with each child and uses therapeutic tools and strategies to determine how they are coping and what may need to change. The child psychologist then provides feedback to the parents during the mediation.

Section 60I Certificates

Section 60I certificates are required before an application for Parenting Orders can be made to the Family Court. Our mediators are approved by the Department of the Federal Attorney-General to provide section 60I certificates.

Financial Agreements

Financial Agreements deal with any property, investments, shares and other assets and liabilities. Mediation is the quickest and most cost-effective process for reaching settlement. Our mediators provide written financial agreements to both parties at the end of the mediation.

Child Support

Child Support Agreements deal with how parents financially support their children, including day-to-day costs of living, school fees, uniforms and books, tuition costs, general medical and health care costs, and specific healthcare costs (such as speech therapy and counselling).
