Mediation
Independent, accredited mediation for individuals, families and businesses across NSW.
Whether it is a workplace dispute, a family separation, or a disagreement between business partners, mediation offers a faster, less formal and more cost effective path to resolution, one where the people involved shape the outcome.
Practice Areas
Core Mediation can work with you to successfully resolve many types of disputes
Employment and Workplace Mediation
Core Mediation provides a safe, structured and impartial environment for resolving workplace disputes. With 13 years' HR experience and accreditation under AMDRAS, we bring both practical workplace expertise and a neutral, third-party perspective — offering fresh insight and facilitating outcomes that internal processes often can't reach. We assist with a wide range of workplace issues, including communication breakdowns, leadership style differences, changes in work practices, job or role boundaries, employment terms and conditions, and allegations of bullying, harassment, or discrimination.
Dispute Avoidance
Dispute avoidance is about identifying and addressing potential issues before they escalate into full-blown conflict. Rather than waiting for a problem to surface, we work with businesses to spot early warning signs, communication breakdowns, unclear role boundaries, tension during change, and resolve them before they cost time, money or trust. This proactive approach is especially valuable during periods of change, restructuring or growth, when the risk of conflict is highest and strong working relationships matter most.
Family and Small Business Disputes
Family and small business disputes can be highly personal and emotionally charged, often straining relationships and clouding decision-making. Mediation offers a neutral, confidential environment to address these conflicts constructively. We help parties navigate issues such as family dynamics, succession planning, partnership disagreements, financial concerns, and operational challenges. By fostering open communication and collaboration, we support you in finding practical, mutually beneficial solutions that protect both relationships and the long-term future of your family or business.
Coaching
