Mediations Australia
At Mediations Australia, we resolve disputes with significantly better outcomes—while saving all parties considerable time, money, and stress.
Mediation is increasingly recognised as the most effective and efficient way to settle disputes across a wide range of areas, from family and workplace matters to commercial and organisational conflicts. Courts throughout Australia now actively encourage, and in many cases require, mediation before disputes proceed to trial.
Our team of nationally accredited mediators and lawyers bring expertise across multiple disciplines. With a background in both law and mediation, they provide practical, fair, and durable solutions tailored to the circumstances of each dispute.
Over the years, our mediators have helped thousands of people and organisations reach resolution without the heavy costs of lawyers and the massive delays associated with going to court.
If you’re facing a dispute—whether personal, professional, or commercial—our mediators can guide you through your options. Speak with one of our team today for a free, no-obligation consultation about how mediation can work for your situation.
All Disputes Resolved
At Mediations Australia, we believe that most disputes—whether personal, workplace, commercial, or family-related—can be resolved through our proven mediation process.
Family & Relationships
From parenting plans to property settlements, mediation is the fastest, most cost-effective way to resolve family law matters. It keeps decision-making in your hands, not a judge’s, and reduces the emotional strain on everyone involved.
Workplace & Employment
Disputes at work—whether around termination, contracts, or complaints—can be stressful for everyone involved. Mediation provides a safe space to resolve issues fast, without endless HR processes or legal bills, so you can get back to a productive workplace.
Estate & Inheritance Disputes
Wills and estates can cause rifts at the worst possible time. Instead of dragging family through years of court proceedings, mediation helps resolve inheritance issues fairly, privately, and with far less cost—preserving relationships along the way.
Commercial & Business Disputes
When contracts fall apart, partnerships break down, or shareholder disagreements arise, going to court can drain profits and damage relationships. Mediation offers a smarter way—quick, cost-effective, and designed to protect both your business and your bottom line.
Property & Real Estate Matters
Boundary disagreements, landlord and tenant issues, or co-ownership disputes don’t need to spiral into expensive litigation. Mediation helps you reach clear agreements quickly, keeping property matters moving without the stress and cost of drawn-out battles.
Personal Injury & Insurance Claims
Injury claims are already stressful enough without the added weight of lengthy court cases. Mediation allows injured parties and insurers to settle fairly and efficiently, so compensation is agreed without months—or years—of uncertainty.
Why Choose Mediations Australia to Help You
At Mediations Australia, we focus on resolving disputes early—before they spiral into long, expensive, and draining court battles. Why? Because our mediators and lawyers know first-hand just how costly, time-consuming, and stressful litigation can be. Whether it’s a family matter, workplace issue, business disagreement, or estate dispute, the traditional court process often leaves everyone worse off.
Put simply, avoiding litigation wherever possible is the smartest move you can make. Mediation gives you control over the outcome, saves significant costs, and resolves disputes faster and with far less stress.
Even if your matter is complex and needs time to prepare, mediation is still more effective and efficient than dragging things through the courts. Our team takes a holistic approach, guiding you through the process and working with all parties to reach practical, lasting solutions.
Fixed Fee Consultations
Getting clear advice early is essential. Too many people delay seeking help and end up making decisions that damage their position. At Mediations Australia, you can book a fixed-fee consultation with one of our lawyers or mediators, giving you clarity on your rights and options without the fear of runaway legal costs.
Our Mediators
Finding the right mediator can be difficult. At Mediations Australia, our team includes nationally accredited mediators and experienced lawyers who are recognised leaders in their fields. Whether your dispute involves family, business, estates, or workplace matters, you’ll work with specialists who understand both the legal and human sides of conflict.
Our Philosophy
We believe the traditional approach to resolving disputes is broken. Courts are overloaded, legal fees are rising, and the adversarial process often makes bad situations worse. Mediation flips the script: faster, cheaper, and far less stressful. Our goal is simple—help you resolve your dispute in the most efficient and effective way possible.
How We Can Help
Our mediators work across Australia and New Zealand, and even internationally. No matter the type of dispute or where you’re located, our team can help you find a resolution that works for everyone involved—without years of litigation hanging over your head.
Why Choose Mediation
Mediation is the smart alternative to court. Instead of years of stress, legal fees, and uncertainty, mediation helps you resolve disputes quickly, fairly, and affordably. A neutral mediator guides the conversation, keeps things on track, and helps everyone move toward an agreement you can live with.
And unlike court, you stay in control. You choose the outcome—not a judge.
What is the Role of the Mediator?
Our mediators aren’t here to take sides or hand down decisions. Their role is simple:
- Keep things calm and fair so everyone is heard.
- Highlight the real issues and guide the conversation toward solutions.
- Help you weigh up options and reach an agreement faster.
Many of our mediators are also experienced lawyers, which means they understand both the legal framework and the practical realities of your situation.
Best of all, mediation can be done in person or online (Zoom). No wasted time, no unnecessary travel.

Commonly Asked Questions
What is mediation, and how is it different from going to court?
Mediation is a facilitated negotiation process led by a neutral third party who helps guide parties toward agreement. Unlike court, the mediator does not impose decisions, and you retain control over the outcome.
Which types of disputes can be mediated through Mediations Australia?
We handle a wide range: family law, commercial/business conflicts, workplace and employment issues, estate and inheritance disputes, personal injury/insurance claims, property and real estate disagreements, and neighbourhood/community conflicts.
How long does a mediation usually take?
Our approach is designed to resolve many disputes within 1–2 days, rather than weeks or months. (By contrast, traditional litigation often drags out for years.)
How much does mediation cost, and who pays?
Costs depend on complexity, duration, and preparation needs. Typically, parties share the mediation fees equally (or as agreed). Our transparent pricing allows you to assess value compared to the high costs of litigation.
Do I need a lawyer to attend mediation?
No — it’s not mandatory. However, having legal advice before or after mediation is advisable, especially in complex matters, so you understand your rights and the legal implications of any agreement.
Will everything discussed in mediation stay confidential?
Yes — mediation is usually conducted on a “without prejudice” basis, meaning statements, offers, or admissions made during the mediation generally cannot be used later in court. This confidentiality promotes open, honest conversation.
What happens if we can’t reach an agreement in mediation?
Even if no final resolution is reached, mediation often clarifies the key disputed issues and narrow down what must go to court. You’re also free to proceed with litigation afterward.
Can mediation agreements be made legally binding?
Yes. Once an agreement is reached, it can be formalised — via consent orders, binding contracts, or court-approved documents — depending on the type of dispute. We do this all for you.
Where can mediation take place?
In person, online (e.g. Zoom), or via “shuttle” style (mediator moving between separate rooms). We adapt to your comfort, logistics, and needs.
What makes Mediations Australia different?
Our mediators often have dual expertise as accredited mediators and experienced lawyers.
We prioritise early resolution, seeking to resolve disputes quickly, cost-effectively, and with minimal stress.
We offer transparent pricing, a high success rate, and a streamlined process.
