Do I Qualify to Work as a Mediator?

While there are currently no statutory requirements to enter the field, the industry expectation is for mediators to hold a 3-year tertiary qualification and a valid professional certification ('accreditation'). In the absence of a 3-year qualification, it is possible to apply for professional certification where applicants demonstrate sufficient work experience in related fields.

A background in Law or the Social Sciences are common among mediators, but the industry is not restrictive and any other 3-year tertiary qualification is sufficient for professional certification with a membership organisation.
