Professional Family Dispute Resolution for Sydney, Newcastle, Central Coast and NSW Country.
Accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner. Over 20 Years of Legal & Mediation Experience. Confidential, Independent & Neutral Process. Child-Focused Resolution Outcomes Under the Family Law Act 1975. We offer a comprehensive family mediation service with online Australia-wide or in-person appointments in Canberra for parenting and property dispute resolution. Our mediation Canberra process is structured and legally compliant, designed to resolve parenting and property disputes efficiently and respectfully.
Book your initial intake call for our family mediation service in Canberra; we speak with you confidentially to assess suitability, explain the mediation process, and answer your questions. During the separate intake and screening, each party is spoken to independently to ensure that mediation is appropriate and safe. In our mediation sessions, we facilitate structured discussions focused on parenting or property resolution without court intervention where possible, making our mediation Canberra services effective. Finally, we outline the outcome and next steps, and agreements may be formalized where appropriate. Section 60I certificates are issued where legally required.
Under Australian family law, parties are required to attempt family dispute resolution through options like Canberra mediation before applying to the court for parenting orders, unless an exemption applies.
As an Accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner with over 20 years' experience in family law, I am authorized to issue Section 60I certificates when legally necessary.
A Section 60I Certificate may be issued in situations such as:
- One party refuses to participate;
- Mediation in Canberra is assessed as inappropriate;
- Parties attend but do not reach an agreement;
- A party fails to attend despite genuine effort.
If you require a Section 60I certificate or would like to arrange an appointment with our family mediation service, contact the Australian Mediation Service to discuss the process in a confidential setting.
