Mediation Invitation & Intake
$500 + GST
non-refundable
Mediation Invitation & Intake is inclusive of the half and full day mediation bookings.
A practitioner will send an invitation to the other party to engage in Family Dispute Resolution.
If the other party accepts the invitation, the practitioner will undertake an intake session lasting approximately 1 hour with each party to assess whether mediation is suitable to proceed.
An intake session is where each party will have a separate and confidential telephone conversation with the practitioner.
If the intake and/or mediation does not proceed, a section 60I certificate may be issued and the $500 + GST fee is non-refundable.
Room hire
Parties may chose to have mediation at their solicitors offices.
Where that is not available, or if the parties would prefer a neutral setting, we can book a mediation space at cost to the parties. This will need to be paid up front by the parties prior to the mediation in accordance with our payment terms.
Alternatively, mediation can take place from the comfort of your own home via video link.
We recognise that circumstances may change and a mediation may need to be cancelled or rescheduled. To ensure your request is processed promptly and accurately, all requests must be submitted via email to info@vanguardmediation.com.au
Please note that requests made through any other channel cannot be accepted.
