Not sure which service is right for you, or whether professional support would even help? We offer a free initial consultation across all our services — family mediation, business mediation, workplace conflict resolution and leadership coaching so you can get clear advice before committing.



What is a free consultation?


The free initial consultation is a short introductory call (typically 15 to 30 minutes) where you can ask questions, explain your circumstances and get a clear picture of the options available to you. It applies equally whether you’re considering mediation, coaching or advice about managing conflict. There’s no obligation to proceed and no cost.


What does the consultation cover?


In the initial call, you can expect to discuss:


  • What type of situation you’re facing — family or parenting dispute, property settlement, business or commercial dispute, workplace conflict or leadership challenge.

  • Whether mediation, Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) or management coaching is the right fit for your circumstances.

  • What the process looks like and how long it typically takes.

  • Fees and scheduling, with fixed, transparent pricing explained upfront.

  • Any questions you have about attending with or without a lawyer (for FDR and family mediation matters).



Who is it for?


The free consultation is for anyone considering mediation or coaching in Canberra and the surrounding region. That includes people dealing with a parenting dispute or property settlement after separation, business owners navigating a commercial dispute, leaders or teams working through conflict and individuals who want structured support for managing conflict at work. If you’re not sure which service fits, the consultation is the right place to start.


Why no waitlist matters


Unlike court processes or services with long government waiting lists (which can run to three months or more) Mediation Canberra offers same-week appointments with no waitlist. The free initial consultation can often be arranged within days.


How to book the free consultation


Call or email directly to arrange a time. We offer appointments across the ACT and online for clients outside the region. Our practice covers family mediation and FDR, business and commercial mediation, workplace conflict resolution and leadership coaching. Ready to talk? Book your free consultation here.
