Outreach Mediation is especially valuable for those who:

Mediation can continue for as long as all parties have the will and the energy to continue would like to organise mediation at short notice
Resolve your family disputes cooperatively, quickly, effectively and make robust agreements that last, without the expense, stress, time it takes in the adversarial court system.
Litigation destroys any remaining threads of a relationship. Some people want to go to battle, believing that the court system will deliver justice. The fact is that the court system does NOT resolve disputes. Orders imposed by a magistrate may not suit either party. The court system is horrendously expensive, stressful, and cases can take many stressful years. Parents become enemies and find it difficult if not impossible to properly co-parent their children. Children deserve better than that.
InterMEDIATE Dispute Management Registered and Accredited Mediators are highly trained and skilled to direct the mediation process, assisting couples and families to identify the real issues, discuss the problems, to develop options and robust agreements that best suit everyone involved.
InterMEDIATE Dispute Management uses a co-mediation model, which means that 2 mediators come to you for each session, one male and one female. This ensures a gender balance and a much more effective mediation.
Sometimes people get counselling and mediation mixed up. Mediators do not give advice, they help people to communicate effectively in a safe environment, to resolve disputes and make robust agreements. Referrals to other professionals may be made if a need is recognised. Mediators do not give legal advice, rather we encourage parties to seek independent legal advice prior to mediation to know their legal situation prior to mediation. This saves time and money being wasted in litigation and a realistic view for each party during mediated negotiations.

This model utilises telephone conferencing and other electronic methods of communication (e.g. email, fax) to mediate. See our webpage http://www.intermediate.com.au/telephone-online-dispute-resolution-2.html for more information. Some of the main benefits of mediation are: All types of issues can be resolved effectively; Robust agreements made by the parties are more likely to be adhered to than any orders handed down by a judge; Much much less expensive than going to court; Can restore or repair relationships; Mediators are impartial - neither party is judged; A respectful process that greatly reduces stress; Confidentiality of process; Parenting plans lodged in the family court can become consent orders; Costs are very reasonable and can be shared equally; Book a time convenient to you at short notice; We provide a gender balanced & impartial professional co-mediation service.
