The Bayside Mediation
difference

01

Unlike other Private Family Law Mediators who add a room charge to a client’s cost, or never offer face to face mediation. Bayside Mediation has our own comfortable, spacious and private office spaces. As a proud member of our local community, we love to support our downstairs café. Can we buy you a coffee?

02

From separation to settlement, our experienced, results-driven team helps families separate smarter. Over 90% of our clients reach a mediated outcome for both child access and/or financial settlements.

03

Bayside Mediations offices are conveniently located on Highett Road Highett with amble extended parking walking distance to our front door and public transport options. During the current global pandemic, we are also offering video conferencing.

Why Use Family Mediation ?

Dianne talks about the importance of understanding your options under Australian Family Law.

Why Family dispute resolution should be your first port of call, once you have decided to separate.

As a dedicated Family Law Mediation practice, Bayside Mediation offers clients a different perspective on separation and divorce.

We are a real alternative to using solicitors when separating

We design a process that best suits our clients & their children’s needs.

What next? Contact us and as soon as one of our specialist FDR Practitioners is available, they will call you back to discuss all your options.

Sophie was brilliant. Her initial communication regarding the process was excellent. She was unbiased in her approach and attempted to ensure that both of us came to an acceptable agreement. We willingness to go above and beyond was evident in her email communication throughout the entire process and was so reassuring throughout. Thank you Sophie.

I found Bayside Mediation a great benefit for those entering unknown territory. A split from a partner is never an easy process, the good people at BM made it simple for us. They explained everything very clearly and explained where each person stood. Thank you Bayside Mediation. Moving on happily and without regret.

I engaged Dianne at Mediation Matters to assist with coming to an agreement on a single parenting decision. Dianne was prompt to engage the process, clear and upfront with how the mediation would work and what I needed to consider coming into it. Unfortunately my daughters father chose not to attend mediation, however, Dianne provided ongoing support and referrals to assist me even though the mediation was unsuccessful. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you genuinely wish to resolve your issues, I believe Dianne has the right approach to help achieve this.
