Aboriginal Mediation Service

Aboriginal Mediation Service (AMS)

The Aboriginal Mediation Service’s (AMS) aim is to assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to resolve conflicts before they escalate into violence or result in court action.

AMS conflict resolution services are:

• • Culturally appropriate
• • Voluntary
• • Confidential
• • Statewide
• • Free
• What types of conflicts are suitable?
• • Family (not family law)
• • Burial
• • Community
• • Neighbour

If you are one of the parties involved in a conflict or wanting to make a referral on behalf of a party or parties, contact AMS by phone or email for a confidential discussion with one of our staff.

You will be advised during your discussion with the AMS Case Officer if a referral is required. If so, a referral form will be forwarded to you for completion and returned to AMS.
If the matter is suitable for mediation, a Mediator will be allocated to facilitate the process.
If the matter is not suitable for mediation, alternative options will be discussed with the parties.
Service hours are 9-5pm
