Areas of Mediation

Mediation can be useful in any area of life where conflict can occur. Some of the areas in which I have successfully conducted mediation are:

disputes between neighbours
disputes within a family (nuclear or extended) (other than Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) under the Family Law Act)
Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) to reach agreement on where their children live and what responsibilities the parents will take on to address the best interests of their children
Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) to reach agreement on property division
mediation for couples who are still together, want to stay together and want to resolve issues between them (this is different from couples counselling)
disputes involving older people (Elder Mediation), including between an older person and their adult child(ren) or between an older person and their carer or age-care provider
disputes within a workplace, either between employees or between an employee and a manager or management generally
disputes within a workplace team
business disputes within an organisation, including not-for-profit organisations
business disputes between organisations
disputes between a professional (e.g. a healthcare provider or builder) and a patient/client/customer
