Connecting, Collaborating, Expertise.
Gold Coast Mediations Group is a purpose driven resource platform to support resolving disputes professionally out of court.
Our purpose largely derives from a commitment to:
- connecting resources to match the nature of the dispute and clients: access to a range diverse expertise, experience and accordingly, fees: family, commercial, insurance, workplace, cultural, bi-lingual, elderly
- connecting expertise – with a choice of suitable, independent, experienced and qualified local mediators
- connecting and collaborating with local supporting professionals and services: venues, supportive and collaborative lawyers, arbitrators, coaches, financial advisors, valuers, child experts, report writers, community support
- collaborating to provide opportunities for aspiring and junior mediators to gain mediation with qualified, senior and advanced mediators
- connecting and collaborating with community resources, information and support
- providing independence: a resource for panel selection and expert advisors, independent of each party’s legal representation
