Mediation is a Process of dispute resolution and management, which is designed to confidentially and systematically isolate the issues in dispute. Parties are assisted utilising an Australian Model for Mediation, in the development of options for the resolution of these issues.

The parties are encouraged to explore the usefulness of these options and to select their BATNA (Best Alternative To Negotiated Agreement) and if possible reach an agreement, that is Robust and Fair, that meets their interests and needs.

We then draft for the parties a detailed and comprehensive summary of any agreements reached (Memorandum of Mediation), including any a statement of the Not Yet Resolved Issues

Some of the benefits of mediation are:

• Confidentiality of process,
• Costs of settlement are greatly reduced;
• Mediation can be usually be arranged given short notice;
• Time and location arranged to suit you, 
• Parties are not bound by legal rules, thus expediting developing and reaching agreement.
• You are involved in the resolution of your dispute.
• Parties share the cost of Mediation services.
• Costs are known and agreed upon before proceeding.
• Parties can invite support and legally qualified representatives to attend the Mediation sessions, in most cases

We the Mediator/s agree:

1. To provide mediation services in accordance with best practice according to Australian Standards at the agreed rate.
2. To assist the parties to attempt to resolve the dispute by firstly beginning with an Assessment of the matter and to give appropriate consideration to the most suitable process when determining the methodology in the provision of professional ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) services.
