Relationships Australia Victoria (RAV) provides Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) from centres across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria.
FDR can be a helpful way to resolve family law disputes about post-separation parenting arrangements, financial matters and property settlements.
It is important for FDR practitioners (FDRPs), whether established or still in training, to keep up with the emerging family law reforms. This pre-recorded webinar features an expert panel: Dr Andrew Bickerdike, Susan Hamilton-Green and Greg Rooney.
Ideal for
FDRPs and students.
