Frequently Asked Questions | Mediation in NSW
What is mediation and how does it work?
Mediation is a structured process where a neutral mediator helps parties resolve disputes through discussion and negotiation.
What types of cases are suitable for mediation?
Family law disputes, estate conflicts, commercial matters, workplace disagreements, and tenancy or property disputes are commonly mediated.
How long does mediation typically take?
It depends on the complexity of the dispute, but many matters can be resolved in a single day or over a few sessions.
Is the outcome of mediation legally binding?
Agreements are not automatically binding but can be formalised through a Binding Financial Agreement, Consent Orders, or written contracts.
What happens if we can’t reach an agreement in mediation?
The dispute may proceed to court. The court will usually consider evidence that parties attempted mediation in good faith.
Can mediation be used in divorce cases?
Yes. Mediation is often used to resolve property settlements, parenting arrangements, and child support issues.
Are mediators also legal advisors?
Mediators remain impartial. While some mediators are lawyers, they cannot give legal advice to either party during the mediation.
