Child Inclusive Mediation
Mediation is a process where you and the other parent meet in a safe and controlled environment. With the assistance of your mediator Nardine, you and the other parents will try to reach agreement as to the best parenting arrangements for your children.
Child Inclusive mediation is an additional step to a mediation and as the name suggests, the process includes your child who is after all the most important person in the discussion.
Our Process
Our trained mediators are skilled in engaging with children in age-appropriate ways, ensuring they feel safe and heard. The process includes:
- • Initial Assessment: We conduct an initial assessment to determine the suitability of child inclusive mediation for your family situation.
- • Child Consultation: A specially trained mediator meets with the child to listen to their views and feelings about the situation, always ensuring this is done in a way that is comfortable and safe for the child.
- • Feedback to Parents: The mediator then provides feedback to the parents, incorporating the child’s perspective into the mediation discussions, ensuring that decisions are made with the child’s best interests at heart.
Our Commitment
At North Queensland Family Mediation, we are committed to providing a respectful and caring environment for your family. We understand the delicate nature of involving children in mediation and take every precaution to ensure their safety, comfort, and well-being throughout the process. Our mediators are not only experts in family law but also in child psychology, ensuring that your children’s voices are heard and valued.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is Family Mediation Legally Binding?
The agreements reached during family mediation can be made legally binding through a Consent Order. While the mediation process itself is not legally enforceable, the decisions agreed upon and documented can be submitted to a court for approval, giving them the same legal standing as a court order.
Who Should Consider Family Mediation?
Family mediation is suitable for a wide range of disputes, including divorce, property settlements, and child custody arrangements. It's especially beneficial for those seeking a more amicable resolution and willing to work collaboratively towards practical solutions, respecting the interests of all family members involved.
What to Expect During the Mediation Process?
The mediation process typically involves an initial assessment to determine suitability, followed by several sessions where all parties discuss their issues with the mediator's guidance. Mediators help facilitate dialogue, ensure a fair process, and assist parties in reaching mutually satisfactory agreements, focusing on effective communication and negotiation strategies.
