Testimonials

"I thought she (Rachael), was a great mediator and was able to get the parties thinking deeply and engaged. We are thankful for her assistance."

Brisbane Family Law Solicitor

“The mediation was very smoothly and professionally conducted in a warm and welcoming venue. As a family law property matter where young children were involved some of the issues were sensitive. Our mediator Joelene Nel was skilled at putting the parties at their ease and talking through in a calm way some tough issues both in group and one on one sessions. It was a long day but very happily the matter settled and final orders were agreed and signed off on the day. I am sure that without mediation this matter would have run on for many more months. Thanks to all.”

Nationally Accredited Mediator and Arbitrator

Wife who attending mediation

“Joelene was her usual calm, level-headed and compassionate self. Her perseverance in keeping the dialogue going, when it seemed as though we were at an impasse, was I think pivotal to the successful outcome. A late finish but another case resolved without the ongoing expense and uncertainty of litigation. Thanks very much to The Mediation Place and all of the team.”
