Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) Practitioners (FDRPs) provide a structured and facilitated mediation process that assists families experiencing separation to resolve disputes about parenting, financial and property matters.

FDRPs provide information and undertake intake and assessment around FDR suitability and the capacity of families to participate. They manage and adapt the FDR process to meet individual needs.

FDRPs make a real difference in assisting families to manage conflict and make decisions in a timely and affordable way.

Families are supported to make arrangements that suit their unique circumstances and minimise the use of the court system.
