What is mediation?
Mediation is a form of dispute resolution where parties who are in dispute can meet in the presence of a neutral, impartial and independent mediator. Mediators are trained to facilitate a discussion between the parties so that together they may find a solution suitable to both parties.
Our mediation service is based at our Perth CBD office. The service uses a ‘co-mediation’ model where two mediators are present. Throughout the process, the mediators maintain neutrality and ensure that the process is fair and equitable for both parties. At Citizens Advice Bureau, we can assist in mediating parenting matters, family property issues, grandparenting issues, small commercial, Elder issues, Associations and community disputes.
How long will mediation take?
We will never rush clients into reaching a decision during a mediation session. A mediation session generally lasts for 2 – 3 hours, depending on the type of dispute. If the matter is not resolved or additional information is required, then a further session can be booked.
