Our program is designed to qualify you under the AMDRAS framework, the national benchmark for professional mediators in Australia.

If you’re serious about building a recognised, respected mediation career, this is where it starts.

Leaders wanting formal conflict resolution expertise
Anyone wanting to add authority, income potential, and professional mobility to their career

Why AMDRAS Accreditation Matters

Becoming a Nationally Accredited Mediator is not just a certificate; it’s a powerful marketing and professional tool that enhances your credibility and expands the services you can offer. Becoming accredited means you:

Meet Australia’s national competency standards for mediators
Gain credibility with courts, law firms, corporations, and government bodies
Become eligible for professional panels and referral networks
Demonstrate a recognised standard of ethical and procedural excellence

Without national accreditation, your opportunities are limited.

With it, you’re positioned as a trusted professional.

Once accredited, you are eligible to continue your progression through the AMDRAS levels.

Advanced Mediation Practicum

In June, we are offering a 2-day Advanced Mediation Practicum for experienced mediators and dispute resolution practitioners.

The program is practical and reflective, with participants bringing a de-identified real case for discussion and engaging in focused conversations about practice challenges, skills development, and constructive peer feedback.

The workshop also explores obstacles that arise in mediation, the skills and techniques required across each stage of the mediation process, reflective practice, and socio-cultural considerations when working with diverse communities, including CALD and First Nations contexts.

For practitioners who meet the eligibility requirements, completing the course and assessment provides a pathway to apply for AMDRAS Advanced Mediation Accreditation (Level 2), which is a valuable addition to their accreditation for both the practitioner – and the Organisation/business.

Dates: 18th and 19th June

Delivery: Live, via Zoom

Cost: $1,000

Eligibility requirements: 4 years+ of accreditation and 150+ hours of mediation practice.
