About Australian Mediation Awareness Week
Our mission is to increase the use of appropriate dispute resolution before or instead of going to court in order to reduce the harm including the emotional and financial costs of unresolved disputes.
#AuMAW is now working in collaboration with the International Mediation Awareness Week to provide Australian dispute resolution professionals with a global voice as we engage, educate and inform the Australian community about the benefits of ADR (appropriate dispute resolution)
