Melbourne-based accredited mediators

Creating solutions beyond courtroom conflicts

Mediation is a form of dispute resolution where an impartial third party, the mediator, helps foster communication, understanding, and collaboration between conflicting parties to arrive at a mutually satisfactory resolution.

At Calderbank Dispute Resolution, we believe that combining empathy with a strategic approach leads to robust, comprehensive and tailored solutions for participants. Our commitment to fostering understanding, generating innovative solutions, and delivering results sets us apart in the mediation landscape.
