Family & Divorce Mediation

Family & divorce mediation is often referred to as Family Dispute Resolution (FDR). 

The Australian Family Law Court mandates that any parties with children or property need to attend mediation prior to going to court in order to obtain a 60I certificate.  Parenting Agreements made on the day can be formalised further if required.

The skills developed throughout counselling enable mediation to occur in an environment of unconditional positive regard overlaid with a knowledge of how family systems work and a comprehensive understanding of the developmental needs of children. This aids the process of both parties being able to work through relationship conflict in order to reach arrangements that are in the best interests of their children's physical, emotional and mental well being.
