A Little more detail.....
​
When an agreement is made and both parties sign it in agreeance, this is called a Parenting Plan. This is not legally binding.
If you wish to formalise a Parenting Plan into a Consent Order (Legally Binding), we can provide you with information about how to go about doing this.
We can support you with the Do-It-Yourself application available from the Family Court website.
Fee is $780 per person.
​
Fees are charged per parent, which means unless otherwise agreed, each parent is charged $1320 (ex GST) for up to five (5) hours of child focused mediation.
​
The mediation fee is payable at the time of booking.
​
If Parenting and Property mediation are also required, and the five hours will not be suitable, a per hour rate of $270 (ex GST) per person & extended room hire fees if applicable is payable on the day. Alternatively, we book consecutive days to cover both property and parenting.
​
The same rate of $270 (ex GST) per person per hour is applicable for Lawyer Assisted mediation.
​
It is STRONGLY advised that all parties seek legal advice either before or during the mediation process.
​
GC Mediations CANNOT give legal or financial advice.
Terms & Conditions

If either party does not attend or withdraws from the mediation, unless the mediation is rebooked within 48 hours, this payment is forfeited and will not be refunded.
The balance of the fee is payable by each party, no less than 48hrs prior to the mediation.
Not all mediations will fit the four hour model, therefore an whole day option is available or per hour per party after the first four hours.
Lawyer assisted mediation is charged at $270 per person per hour of mediation.
Lawyer assisted mediations might require up to 8 hours.
* Any fees or costs associated with travel or weekend mediation sessions are not included in the above price schedule and are payable in full before mediation day. Venue hire fees may also apply.
