Section 60I Certificates
Understanding your next steps in a parenting dispute
If you are having difficulty reaching agreement about parenting arrangements, Family & Property Mediation Australia can help you understand the Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) process and assess whether mediation is appropriate.
Accredited Practitioners
Our practitioners are accredited by the Australian Government Attorney-General’s Department and can issue Section 60I certificates where the legal requirements are met.
How does our process work?
1. Book your individual intake
Meet privately with our practitioner by phone or Zoom for approximately 60–90 minutes. We discuss your circumstances, parenting concerns, safety and what you hope to achieve.
2. Assess suitability
Each participant is assessed separately. Mediation only proceeds when our practitioner considers it appropriate, taking account of safety concerns and each person’s ability to participate and negotiate freely.
3. Invite the other participant
Where appropriate, we contact the other person to explain the process and invite them to participate. You do not need to secure their agreement before contacting us.
4. Discuss the next steps
If mediation proceeds, we help you explore parenting arrangements with your children’s needs at the centre. If a certificate is appropriate, our practitioner explains the applicable category and what it means.
