Prepare for the Future of Family Law in SA
The SA Law Reform Commission is drafting new legislation to make mediation mandatory for all family law cases. The Alternative Dispute Resolution in Family Matters Bill, in step with Rule 41A, intends to remove litigation as the default mechanism for settling divorces, parenting plans, maintenance disputes, etc.
​
Of the 33,000 practicing attorneys in SA, fewer than 5% have trained as mediators and fewer still comply with national standards. This represents a clear opportunity for legal professionals, social workers, psychologists, counsellors and other professionals to establish their private mediation practices.
SA's only Mediation course that covers all compulsory training components
in a single qualification
