Presented by the Australian Centre for Justice Innovation (ACJI) Mediation is an effective way of resolving disputes and is now used around Australia in most courts and tribunals. This interactive workshop has been developed to meet the National Mediation Accreditation Standards (NMAS) and provides participants with essential negotiation, mediation and communication skills. It is suitable for all professionals interested in Alternative Dispute Resolution and Mediation. Participants are given the opportunity to practice the theory they have learnt by mediating and participating in a range of conflict scenarios. They are provided with individual feedback on their style and overall performance by highly qualified NMAS accredited practitioners. They will work with the mediation model and learn alternative approaches to deal with varying circumstances as well as investigating, in greater depth, theoretical issues and relevant empirical studies in mediation ethics, intercultural context, contingent third-party interventions, power and empowerment. Participants who successfully complete the full six-day workshop will be eligible to apply for accreditation as mediators under the National Mediation Accreditation System.
