Online Dispute Resolution Services
Flexible Online Dispute Resolution Services to Resolve Your Issues
At Bridge Mediation, our online dispute resolution services make it easier for people in conflict to come together, communicate openly, and reach practical agreements without needing to meet in the same physical location. Using secure video platforms, we support clients across Sydney, regional New South Wales, and across Australia to resolve disputes in a convenient, confidential, and flexible way.
If you are involved in a workplace conflict, business/commercial dispute, family issues, contractual dispute, or other challenges, our online dispute resolution services will provide you with access to experienced, nationally accredited mediators wherever you are located.
Our online dispute resolution services follow the same successful framework as our in-person mediations, with the added flexibility of joining from home, the workplace, or another private location that suits your circumstances.
Bridge Mediation uses an interest-based negotiation approach, focusing on what is important to each participant rather than who is responsible. Our role is to provide a tailored structured process in which everyone is heard, options are explored, and realistic workable solutions are developed and agreed to by the participants.
Online dispute resolution allows parties to:
- Participate from any location across NSW or Australia or worldwide
- Reduce travel time, cost, and disruption
- Maintain confidentiality and privacy
- Access experienced mediators without delay
- Resolve disputes efficiently using a structured, supported process
How Our Online Dispute Resolution Services Work
Bridge Mediation has developed its online dispute resolution process to be simple, secure, and easy to use, even for participants who may not be confident with technology.
Before the joint session, the mediator meets with each participant separately online. These meetings allow the mediator to understand the background to the dispute, explain the mediation process to participants, clarify expectations, and test the technology. This meeting also provides a valuable opportunity for participants to ask questions, raise concerns, and set realistic expectations of possible outcomes.
On the day of mediation, the mediator hosts a secure online session and manages the process so participants can meet together or move into private breakout rooms as needed. The mediator guides the discussion, helps identify the key issues, and supports participants as they explore options to resolve their issues and negotiate outcomes in accordance with their interests.
Our online dispute resolution services are used across a wide range of matters, including:
- Workplace conflict
- Business and commercial disputes
- Contractual disagreements
- Community and Family related disputes.
Bridge Mediation’s dispute resolution processes also assist participants to improve their communications and reduce the risk of similar issues arising again in the future.
