🏡 Struggling with parenting disputes in Ballarat?

Read this before you do anything else…


The fastest, most affordable way to reach a fair parenting agreement in Ballarat – without stepping into a courtroom.


Dear separated parent,


If you’re reading this, chances are you’re frustrated, stuck, and exhausted from trying to co-parent without a clear plan.


  • Maybe every conversation with your ex turns into an argument.
  • Maybe you’re worried about your child being caught in the middle.
  • Maybe you just want a fair solution that works for everyone – without spending thousands on lawyers.


Good news, you’re in the right place.


At Ballarat Family Mediation, we specialise in helping separated parents reach legally recognised parenting agreements that actually work - without stress, drama, or massive legal fees.


And here’s the best part… It’s faster, cheaper, and puts YOU in control.

How It works (3 simple steps)

  1. Book your intake session – we listen, assess your situation, and explain how mediation can help.
  2. Mediation process – we facilitate a guided discussion to help you reach a fair agreement that puts your child first.
  3. Agreement drafted – we write up your parenting plan so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.


🚫 NO lawyers driving up costs.

🚫 NO court-imposed decisions you can’t change.

🚫 NO unnecessary stress.


Just a clear, workable parenting plan that ensures your child gets the best outcome possible.


Why mediation works (and why courts are the last resort)

  • Less stress for you & your child – court battles tear families apart. Mediation keeps things calm and solution-focused.
  • Faster & more affordable – most agreements are reached in just a few sessions, while court cases drag on for months or years.
  • More control over the outcome – a judge doesn’t know your family. Mediation lets YOU decide what’s best for your child.
  • Completely confidential – no public records. No unnecessary drama. Just a private, neutral process to find a fair solution.
  • Convenient & local – meet in a neutral, professional setting right here in Ballarat – close to the familiar landmarks of Lake Wendouree or in the heart of Sturt Street.
