Start your Family Mediation Process within 2 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

  • 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

- Helen, Rochedale QLD
