Couse information Guide
Need Help Deciding on the Course?
We are currently updating our Course Information Guide to accommodate some changes we are making to our course.
Changes include:
1. The ability to enrol in single units of competence
2. A fast track program for students who have the support of a FDR workplace
3. New and improved Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process.
This is especially relevant for:
- legacy FDRP’s who want to have their current skills recognised in the form of the CHC8115 – Graduate Diploma of Family Dispute Resolution
- registrars who are providing FDR services within the family court but do not have the FDR qualification
- people who have extensive experience in some of the non-core units of competence that make up the Graduate Diploma Qualification. This may be relevant for people who hold a core units equivalent qualification from a higher education provider and experience in FDR.
We will provide full information in sumarised format in our 2025 course information guide but if you have any questions, call us at 1300 781 533, visit our Contact Us page to send a message, or chat with us directly through our website.

What is the Delivery Model?
Immediate Start
You can start your course as soon as you’re enrolled—there is no waiting or delayed timeline. We support individualised learning so you can move at your own pace. Generally we allow 30 days from the end of the month for single units with the option to extend if needed. This would allow 10 months to complete the full course plus whatever time you need to complete your work placement.
Fully Online Learning
Training and assessment are online. Your mandatory work placements can be either online or in person. Online service delivery of FDR is now widely practiced and accepted by clients throughout Australia. You MUST physically be in Australia when working with clients during your work placement.
Theory and Skills Development
Access comprehensive online resources, recorded webinars, live webinars (where possible), and assessments to ensure you’re equipped with the necessary knowledge. Develop practical skills through live, mentored video mediation role-plays with expert guidance from our training team.
Real Work Placement Experience
Gain real-world experience through 50 hours of work placement, with opportunities to assist a minimum of 5 families in managing parenting, property, or family violence matters.
Unlike other providers, we ensure that work placement involves direct client engagement as a FDR intern not just observing or role-plays alone.
Course Duration
Flexible Course Duration
Allowing 30 days for each unit you can complete the course in 6 months for the Core Units or 10 months for the full qualification.
It is likely that your work placement may add additional time to this depending on how you arrange it e.g. 1 day a week, 1 client at a time or working 9 – 5!
Self-Paced and Accelerated Options
With a flexible, self-paced format, you can complete the course faster based on your time and commitment. You’re not restricted by the pace of other students and can access content whenever suits you best.
Competency-Based Progression
You’ll need to demonstrate competency in role-plays before starting your work placement. The number of role-plays varies based on your progress, with personalised feedback provided after each.
Up to Two Years for Completion
The standard expectation is that you will complete the qualification within 12 months however we allow up to 2 years to complete the studies as many of our students are fitting study in around work and care duties.
If you require longer than 2 years there is a continuation fee and a need to commit to progress expectations.

The elective units in the CHC81115 – Graduate Diploma of Family Dispute Resolution are more general in nature.
If you feel that you already hold units of competence at the Graduate Diploma level in a relevant area or significant, recent, high level workplace experience in relevant skills area you may be eligible for recognition of current competence (if you possess a current unit of competence that is relevant) or recognition of prior learning if you have formal or informal training and recent workplace experience sufficient to provide evidence of competence.
Holders of the CHC80308 – Graduate Diploma of Family Dispute Resolution are not eligible for recognition of current competence as that course has been superseded and is not equivalent. The CHC81115 has a mandatory 50 hours of work placement so if you can demonstrate that you hold the old qualification and are conducting FDR you could be eligible for a RPL upgrade to the new qualification.
Find out more about our Recognition of Prior Learning Process.
You would not usually be able to get recognition of prior learning for the core units of this qualification because they apply to the work of a family dispute resolution practitioner which you can not legally do unless you are accredited with the Australian Attorney Generals Department. Unaccredited mediators who provide parenting and property mediation do not do so under the requirements of the Family Law Act 1975 so they will not have evidence of the legal and ethical requirements of a FDRP in order to gain RPL. Although some applicants work as intake workers in FDR services who use unaccredited practitioners to fulfil part of the role that is described in this qualification for FDRP’s there is not a single unit that only deals with intake work.

The Student Handbook outlines the terms and conditions for our training programs, detailing policies, procedures, and expectations to ensure a smooth learning experience.
For details about the course, mediation work, or a career as a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner, call us at 1300 781 533 or request a callback via email. If you have concerns about video mediation or your tech setup, we can arrange a video meeting to help assess compatibility.
This course is fully online, so there’s no need to travel. Join tutorials, role-plays, supervision, and other activities from home or the office, saving on travel and accommodation costs and minimising disruptions to your family.
Absolutely. If you would like to participate as an observer or in one of our tutorials we would be happy to arrange it. Contact us to discuss.
As soon as you join the course you can book in for a video orientation meeting. This is to walk you through the learning management system and make sure that your technology is working.
You can also register to join us on one of our webinars or web meetings – Mi Event Calendar
Our course requires participation in video mediation, and it will not be suitable for those who are unwilling to use this technology. We believe that video mediation is essential for the future of the industry, enabling remote service delivery and ensuring the wellbeing of clients. By incorporating video mediation into the training, we aim to build your skills and confidence in this method of providing professional services, preparing you for the evolving landscape of dispute resolution.
Students can arrange their own work placement through connections with Family Dispute Resolution services or practitioners, or they may receive support from local Family Relationship Centers, especially in regional areas.
We may be able to assist with introductions.
For those without connections, Mediation Institute has arranged for placement opportunities through Interact Support Incorporated, a social enterprise style not-for-profit founded by our directors.
A supervision fee is payable to Interact Support.
Our Work Placement Agreement is required before you commence your work placement and this ensures insurance coverage and sets clear expectations for the placement.
Mediation Institute emphasises the importance of real-world experience in Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) training. Unlike some other providers that may rely more heavily on role-plays, our program requires a 50-hour work placement with real clients under the supervision of a registered FDR practitioner. This hands-on experience, added in 2015, is critical for developing practical skills, confidence, and readiness for a career as an FDR practitioner.
While we advocate for regulatory standards that protect qualification integrity, our focus remains on delivering high-quality training and robust student support. Simulations serve as valuable training and assessment tools, but they cannot fully replace the depth of real workplace experience.
Finding the right training provider for Family Dispute Resolution can be challenging. Mediation Institute partners with Registered Training Organisation (RTO) Inspiritive, which manages compliance, while Mediation Institute handles course design, delivery, and assessment.
When comparing programs, consider:
- the full cost (including interest and if you are using fee help government charges)
- whether you are comparing a course that is only equivalent to the core units (some core units courses are named to seem like they are the graduate diploma but they are not)
- if the course is not the full graduate diploma will your other qualifications allow you to register as a FDRP?

A lot! We need to help you to develop your skills and assess your competence through role plays. This may take a number of role plays to achieve.
As a minimum you’ll need to pass assessment in:
- Parenting Pre-Mediation – demonstrating complying with your obligations, risk screening and helping the client to prepare for FDR.
- Property Pre-Mediation – demonstrating complying with your obligations including screeing for risks and suitability including financial abuse, helping the client to understand the requirements for property settlements including full disclosure, helping the client to prepare for mediation including tasks to complete prior to joint mediation sessions.
- Parenting Mediation – facilitating with a facilitative approach (parties speaking directly) and shuttle mediation (unless you provide work placement evidence showing competence in shuttle)
- Property Mediation – demonstrating your ability to competently facilitate property settlement negotiations.
- Child Inclusive Mediation – working with a child inclusive practitioner to assist parents with parenting negotiations.
You will be required to participate as a role player and we encourage you to also observe role plays.
Hope that helps. We can’t be more precise than that as it depends on you and your learning style.
The course is competency based which means that we have the responsibility under the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) Standards to provide training, assessment and support services that meet your individual needs.
We take this responsibility seriously and do offer individualised training and assessment.
Assessment is a process not a one off exam. It is a series of tasks and activities that allow you to learn and apply new skills. You will be required to repeat tasks such as FDR mediation role plays until you have demonstrated competence across all aspects of the process in a variety of different scenarios.
If you are not able to pass your assessment role plays in two attempts and after mentoring we will arrange a meeting with a senior trainer to review your progress and work with you on a strategy to resolve the issues you are having with acquiring the skills.
NMAS / AMDRAS Accreditation is a possible pre-requisite to allow you to enrol in the CHC81115 – Graduate Diploma of Family Dispute Resolution but it does not allow you credits or any recognition of prior learning.
No you can not get credits for “property mediation” training delivered as part of a basic mediation training.
The mediator accreditation course is a short course that is not delivered under Vocational Education and Training standards.
We don’t understand how anyone can claim that is adequate to teach property mediation to any level of competence in the short duration of the course and definitely do not recognise it as being equivalent to Graduate Diploma level training.
A law degree is one of the possible pre-requisites to allow you to enrol in this course but it does not allow you credits or any recognition of prior learning.
The role of a lawyer and that of a family dispute resolution practitioner are very different.
Lawyers advise and advocate and can have only one party to a dispute as a client.
FDR Practitioners facilitate and don’t advocate or provide legal advice. They work with both sides of a dispute in a way that is neutral and independent.
No. Government loans tend to push the price of courses up. While the loan may defer payment they do not make your studies free. They also have fees and charges that continue to increase the cost of the course as long as you have not finished paying back your debt.
Make sure you do your due diligence and ask the full cost of the course with the loan fees applied if you are considering one of those loans.
We are able to offer interest free flexible payment terms so the amount you pay is the course fee and nothing more.
Our RTO has also arranged education finance which will allow you to extend the repayment of the course beyond the completion time if you want to pay off over a longer term. Education Finance.
