SHAW mediation

Today I would like to introduce SHAW Mediation Australia one of the first national mediation firm offering services Australia-wide.

With all SHAW mediators being accredited by a Recognised Mediators Accreditation Body means that SHAW Mediators have the emotional intelligence, training and skills to facilitate productive mediations. 

"Our mediators are patient, kind and passionate about helping you to achieve your desired outcome. We take time to understand your concerns and can succinctly articulate and summarise your perspective and concerns. We remain independent throughout and do everything to make sure you feel safe and supported at all times.

Complex Dispute Resolution in the NT outback

Thanks to all who attended the presentation at the NSW Resolution Institute Chapter in Sydney - it was certainly a great occasion to connect and reconnect with colleagues (many of whom I consider as my teachers)

The presentation is now available via sound cloud on the Resolution Institute page

Burial Rites Mediation between Aboriginal Clans

A scenario
The body of the deceased from a remote community is in the mortuary in under the control of the Coroner
Family members contact the Coroner separately:

1. The father of the deceased  seek release of the body to be buried according to tradition on the land of the deceased birth.
2. The spouse of the deceased (who comes from another clan group) seeks the body of the deceased to be released on their land 

The above parties end up in conflict over who has the stronger legal authority as senior next of kin as an indigenous person
