Start your Family Mediation Process within 2 Days

  • We guarantee your intake within 2 business days
  • We guarantee your mediation within 5 business days after both intakes are completed​ (whereas other mediation organisations have a 3 to 4 month waiting list)

Get the Certainty You Need with Formalised Agreements

  • Our mediators formalise your mediation agreements, so you can then make them legally binding once they are stamped by the Family Court, giving you greater certainty (whereas other mediation organisations typically provide mediation agreements in simple sentences or dot-points or just print off a whiteboard)​

Mediate at an Affordable Cost

  • We charge only $195 (ex GST) per hour intake, mediation pursuant to our schedule of costs (whereas other mediation organisations charge over $450 per hour)
  • We believe that family dispute resolution should be accessible to all and therefore affordable

Engage the Best Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners

  • Our mediators are registered as Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners with the Department of the Federal Attorney-General, pursuant to the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth)
  • ​Our mediators are Nationally Accredited Mediators

Use the Most Experienced Family Mediators

  • Our mediators have collectively completed over 3,000 mediations (or 12,000 hours) in family disputes relating to parenting matters (children's care arrangements, communication, long-term decisions, schooling, relocation) and property matters (division of assets and liabilities)
  • Our mediators act as a neutral third party assisting you in reaching agreements (to remain impartial and unbiased, we do not engage in legal practice or act as lawyers or provide legal advice in any way)

  • We also conduct child-inclusive mediations (where during the mediation session a child psychologist provides feedback to the parties, after having spent time with the children to determine through therapeutic tools and strategies how they are coping with the separation and current parenting arrangements)
  • We conduct face-to-face mediations and shuttle mediations across Brisbane (City, Milton, Toowong, Newstead, Fortitude Valley, Greenslopes, Murarrie, Eight Mile Plains, Darra, Aspley), Ipswich (Brookwater), Gold Coast (Southport, Bundall, Varsity Lakes), Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore), and Toowoomba

What Others Say About Family Mediation Brisbane

"I felt respected and understood, and the agreements have allowed us to get on with parenting our children. Thank you for making it easy."
​- Brian, Westlake QLD
"Franc was our mediator and he was outstanding. He asked the right questions and uncovered the reasons beneath what my ex and I wanted, and this allowed us to be creative with what we agreed to in the end. Resolutions were detailed and professionally written, and we got them stamped by the Family Court. Highly recommended service."
- Colin, Bulimba QLD
"Went in without a hope of getting any agreements, but you guys got us thinking about what the kids need. Made a massive difference to me and the kids. Thank-you for all your help."
- Helen, Rochedale QLD
