Perth Families Deserve a Fairer Way to Resolve Disputes
When disagreements arise during separation, the way you handle them makes a big difference to how your family moves forward. Our mediation service in Perth helps both parties engage purposefully, talk things through, reach decisions, and make plans collaboratively together, saving time, money, and unnecessary stress.
Why Mediation Makes Sense for Perth Families
Many Perth families are surprised by how long and costly court proceedings can be. Fees add up quickly, and the process can stretch on for months or years before anything is resolved. Perth mediation offers a much more practical alternative.
As a divorcing parent in Perth, the Family Court generally expects you to attempt family dispute resolution with a view to avoiding a court hearing altogether.
What makes mediation in Perth particularly valuable is that both people walk away with an outcome they helped create. There is no winner or loser. Instead, both sides work toward something that actually fits their lives, which means agreements are more likely to hold and children are less likely to be caught in ongoing conflict.
What to Expect from Our Perth Family Mediators
We guide you through every part of the process so you always know what is happening and what comes next. Our Perth family mediation also offers numerous benefits…
We Are Familiar with the Family Law Environment in Western Australia
Our mediators understand Western Australia's family law system and recognise the opportunity family mediation offers to resolve issues early, cost effectively, and without the emotional stress and conflict that lawyer-led and Family Court pathways involve.
Choose How You Attend
You can choose how you engage with mediation. You can utilise Zoom or Teams, use a video call, mediate over the phone, be visible and heard by the other party or use shuttle mediation where the family mediator is the messenger between parties. Whichever option suits your schedule, comfort, and personal circumstances best.
We Stay Involved After the Session
Our support continues after the session ends. We clarify agreements, assist with documentation, and ensure you feel completely confident and informed about every next step moving forward.
Rooted in the Perth Community
We are a truly local service. Our Perth-based mediators understand the real, everyday challenges families in this community face, bringing genuine local knowledge to every session.

What Our Perth Clients Say About Us
We have supported many Perth residents through separation, property and parenting disputes. Here is what some of those clients have shared after working with our team.
Frequently asked questions
How much does family mediation cost in Perth?
Our family mediation in Perth is priced at $800 per person. If your intake session does not lead to a full mediation, $600 per person is refunded. All pricing is fixed and communicated upfront, so you will never face unexpected costs at any stage of the process. In fact our fees are some of the lowest in Australia!
Do Perth parents have to try mediation before going to court?
In most parenting cases, yes. The Family Court in Western Australia generally expects divorcing couples to attempt family dispute resolution with a view to avoiding needing to attend court. Our team can discuss this with you.
How much time should I set aside for a session?
A typical session runs between two and four hours. Many people reach a full agreement within that time. For more complex matters, a follow-up session may be needed. We will give you a clear indication of expected session length when you make your booking. We use a standard 4 hour session for each mediation.
Is online mediation available for Perth residents?
Yes, absolutely. Our mediation services in Perth involve secure video call sessions using Zoom or Teams. The process is structured and effective and we believe our online mediation model is more effective than in-person mediation. All you need is a quiet space and a stable internet connection to participate fully.
Can the other party use what I said in mediation, in court?
No. Mediation is a strictly confidential process. Everything discussed remains between the parties and the mediator. Sessions are not recorded, and what is said is protected and inadmissible in court proceedings. This confidentiality encourages both parties to speak openly and work toward genuine resolution.
Should I get legal advice before the session?
You are not required to, but it is strongly recommended. Understanding your legal position before you attend helps you make informed decisions during the session. Our mediators do not provide legal advice, so speaking with a lawyer beforehand ensures you arrive feeling prepared and clear on the divorce process.
Is a partial agreement still useful if we do not agree on everything?
Yes, absolutely. Any points both parties agree on can be formally recorded and used going forward. Partial agreements still save time and reduce court involvement. We can also issue a section 60i certificate, which is frequently required if a parenting matter eventually proceeds to court.
How do I arrange mediation in Perth with your team?
Simply reach out by phone or through our online enquiry form. We will confirm both parties are willing to participate, find a time that suits everyone, and walk you through exactly what to expect. Our family mediation services in Perth are designed to make the process as straightforward as possible from the very first step.
