Hello Everyone,
We are on the countdown to International Mediation Awareness Week which is on the 7th to 11th November.
We still have opportunties for people to join the volunteer team to present, support or promote this mediation promoting series of events.
You can now access the NMAS Review 2020 – 2022 on the Mediator Standards Board Website.
This post has a summary of the recommendations. https://www.mediationinstitute.edu.au/nmas-review/
Links to register to these events hosted by Mi as well as other events that may interest members are available on the Mi Events Calendar. https://www.mediationinstitute.edu.au/events/
Did you know that you have the option to transfer your membership from one Recognised Mediator Accreditation Body (RMAB) to another?
You can do this when your membership with the other RMAB is due, simply complete the transfer section on our renewal form.
You can be a member with both Mediation Institute and another RMAB, however you can only be NMAS accredited through one RMAB.
Mediation Institute is happy to promote events run by other organisations that may be valuable to Mediation Institute Members.
Don’t hesitate to contact us about your events (Mi Member discounts for paid events are encouraged).
This is a free service for Mediation Institute Members or relevant free events. If you are not a member and it is a paid event, we would encourage you to offer a MI Members discount.
