About Us
Welcome to Dispute Mediations.
CAN MEDIATION HELP YOUR SITUATION?
There are cooperative ways of negotiating differences on a range of issues for almost any conflict or dispute. Mediation is a non-adversarial facilitative method that helps people settle disputes as an option to avoid escalating an issue to the courts. Mediation is for any parties, groups, organisations or businesses that wish to instigate a meeting to solve issues. Taking part in mediation can save time, legal fees and court costs for you and the community. Here is a comparison table of mediation costs verses legal costs.

Angela Dennis
BSc/LLB (Hons), Accredited Mediator (NMAS)
Angela holds degrees in Law and Science, and is a qualified and registered facilitative mediator. She is a practitioner member of the Australian Dispute Resolution Association and performs facilitative mediation both in-person and online.
Angela's affinity for helping people to resolve conflicts began many years ago, when in her youth, she was known for assisting her peers with their relationship disputes. Though training and experience have formalised Angela's dispute resolution process, the core principles of her approach remain;
- sharing perspectives
- listening openly
- providing a space for parties to find a lasting resolution.
Facilitative mediation offers an alternative to formal and rigid legal processes, which insist on a 'winner' and a 'loser'. Having studied law and worked in the legal profession, Angela has seen first-hand that the law is often incapable of delivering an adequate resolution to many disputes.
Mediation empowers parties in dispute to achieve their own resolution, so that in effect, there will be 'two winners'. This is the vision which inspires Angela in her work as a mediator, enabling her to engage with a wide variety of people and organisations to find solutions to any kind of dispute.
