One of the most important decisions you will make when considering undertaking family mediation is the selection of an appropriate family law mediator.  Consider our qualifications - family law mediation is our expert specialty.

We specialise in family mediation (also known as family dispute resolution) in property settlement matters and in children's issues.

As an acknowledgement of the power and effectiveness of mediation the Federal Magistrates Court in Brisbane now directs parties to private medation of property settlement applications before trial directions are made. The Federal Attorney General recently (June 2010) announced that it would become compulsory to mediate property matters before court proceedings can be commenced, as in children's matters. 

If you are considering Family Mediation ask your proposed mediator:

• If children's issues are involved are they a registered Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner?
• What experience do they have? 
• How many mediations have they actually conducted? 
• How much training have they undergone? 
• What experience do they have in the specialised area of Family Law?
• Are they an accredited family law specialist?

Randal Binnie is a family mediator who is:

• an accredited mediator under the Australian National Mediator Standards by the Queensland Law Society;
• a registered Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner under the Family Law Act;
• a Queensland Law Society Accredited Family Law Specialist
