Preferred Mediation

The main features of a Brisbane Mediations’ Preferred Mediation are:-

• More affordable than court;
• You select your mediator;
• Hour long intake sessions take place for each party with their mediator – where practicable  on a day before the day of mediation;
• If parties are making progress they can extend the time on the day and so we strongly suggest that parties leave the whole day free;
• In family and relationship mediations each party usually contributes equally to the cost, although one party can opt to be responsible for a larger share or the full amount of the fees; 
• To secure a mediator’s time in our diary, we require a non-refundable booking fee of $350 per party, which is deducted from the final balance payable prior to mediation;
• Payment of the balance in full is required at least two full business days prior to a mediation or intake service;
• Room hire is charged at $220 per day including GST; and
• Where appropriate, after at lest one intake, s60I Certificates attract a fee of $220 including GST – unless parties have completed a mediation with us.

Cost: 

• From 1 January 2023, a flat rate of $500 per hour plus GST and room hire;
