"A Better Way Forward"
WHY MEDIATE?
Mediation is less expensive, less time-consuming and less damaging than litigation. It leaves the control of the outcome with you and allows you to fashion your own solutions.
Child centred mediation focuses on the rights of children. ISDR provides opportunities for the voice of children to be heard during the mediation process in every case.
Mediation enables the possibility for relationships to be repaired.
We work with families affected by separation and divorce to resolve parenting and property issues. We also work with families where discussions about the care of aging parents need to occur.
ISDR values
-
SAFETY of everyone in a a family,
-
PARTICIPATION across the family system including children,
-
SELF DETERMINATION in decisions about the future, and informed CHOICE.
All our mediators are registered Family Dispute Resolution
Practitioners and are able to issue Section 60I certificates where appropriate under the Family Law Act.
