Mediation and ADR
CHS is a strong supporter of Alternative Dispute Resolution and can provide experienced and highly skilled mediators, facilitators or arbitrators to assist the parties in dispute to resolve their issues expeditiously without resorting to a formal Court hearing.
The Mediation process is usually voluntary, however it can be undertaken as the result of a Court order or due to an existing contractual agreement.
The Courts are turning to Mediation as a means for expediting matters, reducing costs to the parties and to the legal system and reducing the number of cases being heard in the Courts generally.
Mediation is confidential and it provides a formal process to empower the parties to make their own decisions to resolve their disputes.
Australian workplaces are adopting Mediation as the preferred intervention process in cases of bullying and harassment, discrimination, breaches of discipline or inappropriate conduct.
CHS is also able to provide experienced Counsellors to individual parties or groups where interpersonal relationships may have broken down.
