Why Should You Choose a Mediation Service?
In Australia, our courts are choked with litigation. Judicial officers are insisting on additional steps to be established that make people realize that resolving disputes through litigation simply doesn’t work.
In family law, there already are steps requiring mediation that are mandatory. Our services will help the dentist to get on what they do best and not have to worry about issues at hand or have to spend quality time responding to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority (Ahpra).

1. Commitment – It’s Up to You
Mediation is a voluntary process. Parties who agree to mediation do actually want to resolve the issues.
2. Confidentiality – Fundamental
Mediation is strictly confidential and always private. Going to court is not. Mediation by law must remain confined and may not be used outside these parameters without permission.
3. Cost – A Big One
Mediation simply costs less than going to court. Your fixed cost is known up front so there will be no hidden surprises or mounting costs.
4. Time – The Most Precious
You control the time, not the system. Mediation can be arranged at short notice.
5. Flexibility – It Fits In With You
Mediation is a flexible, informal process. You decide what you will discuss and can take a break whenever you need to, unlike court processes, which are very formal and controlled by a judge.
6. Honesty – Another Fundamental
Mediators are skilled professionals who create a safe environment where you can speak honestly about the impact the conflict is having on you and what you require to resolve it. This allows you to discuss issues, explore options, and reach agreements that meet your needs, interests, and expectations.
7. Support – If You Need Help, It’s There
Non-participating support persons are welcome to attend the mediation, subject to the agreement of all parties.
8. Agreement – You Decide What To Agree On
Your agreement may result in a simple handshake agreement, a written reminder, a signed agreement that has some legal weight, or you can take further steps to turn your agreement into a contract. It’s totally up to you.
9. Finality – Get On With Your Life
Agreements reached in mediation are yours. Generally, these agreements are much more likely to be more successful in the long run.
