Parenting Mediation, Property & Financial Mediation, s60I Certificates and Anger Management Programs Australia-wide

About our Mediation Services

Northern Frontiers provides private and confidential Parenting Mediation and Family Dispute Resolution, Property & Financial Mediation, Grandparent Mediation, Elder Mediation, Estate Mediation and other dispute resolution services Australia-wide by phone and video.

Mediation provides a structured way for people in dispute to identify the issues that need to be resolved, consider proposals and explore whether practical agreement can be reached with the assistance of an impartial Mediator.

If you have a parenting dispute and the other parent is unwilling to participate, our accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners can explain the formal FDR process and when a section 60I certificate may be issued. If you already have a proposal you would like to put forward, we also provide Parenting Proposal Preparation and Property Proposal Preparation.

About our Anger & Awareness Programs

Northern Frontiers provides private, individual behavioural awareness programs Australia-wide by phone and video. Our Anger Management Program helps participants better understand Anger, recognise triggers and higher-risk situations, improve emotional regulation and develop safer and more effective ways of responding to conflict and frustration.

Where relevant, participants can also complete our Domestic Violence Awareness Program or Parenting After Separation Awareness Program. A separate Youth & Teenager Anger Management Program is available for young people aged 12–17 with parent or guardian consent.

Programs are conducted one-to-one, with no group attendance required and no referral needed. Phone, FaceTime, Microsoft Teams and Zoom appointments make the programs accessible throughout Australia.

What our clients say across Australia

It's all about people and quality of life.

"What began as an uneasy event, quickly became reassuring and personable. I have a mountain of gratitude for Alex and Melinda especially, for offering clarity and direction, at a crucial time in our lives.
Melindas lived experience and complex training, allowed for a level of understanding, that we hadn't experienced. It made the process comfortable and straight forward.
Thank you!"

Public Google Review:

"Very helpful in a period of life when I needed it. Alex was in constant contact and Melinda always available for me."

Response from Northern Frontiers:
Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated. Mediation and counselling are difficult fields in which to operate, let alone receive 5-star reviews. We are very pleased that we were able to be of assistance during this difficult period. Melinda & Alex

"I recently completed the Anger Management Program with Northern Frontiers and found it to be a truly valuable and empowering experience. Across the sessions, I gained practical tools for managing difficult emotions, particularly around conflict, and developed a stronger sense of self-awareness and accountability.

Melinda provided a supportive, respectful environment where I felt safe to reflect and grow. Her focus on emotional regulation, assertive communication, and understanding underlying needs has had a lasting impact on how I engage in relationships and manage stress.

I'm grateful for the clarity, insight, and strategies this program has provided. It’s helped me move forward with more confidence and calm."
