How Family Law Mediation Works

Welcome to Mediation Matters, the podcast by Mediations Australia—leaders in family law mediation nationwide. I’m Ryan, and in this episode, we unpack what really happens in mediation and why it works. 

You might be surprised to learn that 70–80% of mediations in Australia result in agreements—but at Mediations Australia, we’re achieving over 90%. Why? Because mediation is designed to help people find practical, future-focused solutions—even in the most emotionally charged situations. 

We’ll walk through the entire process, from intake assessments to parenting and property negotiations, and explore how flexible solutions, cost savings, and emotional wellbeing all come together through this powerful alternative to court. Whether you're considering separation, already in the thick of it, or just want to understand your options—this episode is for you.
