Information session on new national standards for accreditation of mediators

30/05/2008

On 22 May 2008, the Bar Council declared the NSW Bar Association to be a Recognised Mediator Accreditation Body under the Australian National Mediator Accreditation System Standards, which came into effect on 1 January 2008.� A copy of the report on National Mediator Accreditation and the practice standards and approval standards are available on the ADR page of the association’s web site.

Only those barristers who are accredited under the National Standards will be selected in future for the District Court and Supreme Court mediators’ panels, (barristers must also have at least the experience as mediators that has been required in the past for inclusion on the panels).

The Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee will hold an Information Seminar on the National Standards and accreditation at 5.15 pm on Thursday, 19 June 2008 in the Bar Association Common Room.�
