Resolve family disputes
without going to court.
Clear, practical support makes all the difference when family or community matters become complicated.
Let our experienced coaches, mediators, and arbitrators guide you, your family, or community toward resolution — privately, efficiently, and more affordably than court.
Confidential. We'll be in touch at your preferred date and time.
Whether it's coaching, mediation, or arbitration, our structured approach helps move matters forward
Practical pathways for the decisions ahead. Different situations need different approaches.
Parenting & Guardianship
Care and contact arrangements for children can feel complex. A structured, child-focused approach helps you reach practical agreements – without going to court. For most families, this is the required first step before applying to the Family Court.
Relationship Property
When a relationship ends, property decisions can feel overwhelming. Whether through mediation or arbitration, resolving things clearly – typically about family home, property, and financial assets, without the delays of going to court – means you move on with certainty.
Trusts & Estates
Matters involving trusts, estates, and inheritance can be deeply sensitive, especially where expectations differ. Clear, practical outcomes can be reached – privately – with the help of an experienced specialist supporting relationships where possible.
Community Conflict
Conflicts between family members, neighbours, schools or community groups can be difficult to resolve. Working through these conversations helps improve communication and reduce conflict – without going to court.
Elder & Aged Care Matters
Conversations about care, finances, and living arrangements can be difficult – especially when emotions are running high and family members see things differently. A calm, supported process helps families find a way forward, privately and respectfully.

Families who found a way forward
Our mediator was the voice of reason for all of us. She understood the situation perfectly and was brilliant at helping us all reach a happy agreement.
Our mediator was able to keep the situation calm, enabling me to remove emotions and focus on the issues. I believe it saved us extensive legal costs.
The FDR Centre gave me fantastic positive communication and fast, succinct responses during a stressful time. I always felt heard and supported.
