If you’ve been thinking about gaining formal mediation skills — whether to launch your own conflict resolution practice, strengthen your leadership or HR capabilities, or simply become a more skilled communicator — this is your opportunity.
The Conflict Management Academy is offering a brand-new Facilitative Mediation Course, combining flexible online study with an inspiring, in-person workshop in August at one of Australia’s most stunning destinations: Cairns, Far North Queensland.
And yes — it’s AMDRAS-approved for accreditation!
Why Mediation Training?
Mediation skills are not just for mediators.
They are life skills — vital for leaders, managers, HR professionals, coaches, consultants, and anyone who regularly navigates complex conversations, difficult decisions, or human dynamics.
Whether you aspire to mediate professionally or simply want to handle conflict more confidently and constructively, this course will equip you with powerful tools you can use immediately in your work and life.
How the Course Works
We understand that flexibility matters — so we’ve designed a structure that works around your life, not against it.
Online Coursework: Access thoughtfully curated modules at your own pace in the months before the workshop, with readings, videos, and activities designed for real-world application.
Individual Mentor: You are allocated an experienced practitioner as your mentor for 12 months, to support your learning and development.
Weekly Live Online Drop-In Sessions: Connect with your trainers and peers weekly in optional Q&A sessions — a supportive space to ask questions, discuss challenges, and deepen your understanding.
Four-Day Face-to-Face Workshop in Cairns (26-29 August 2025): Cement your skills, practice with others, and experience transformative learning in a vibrant, supportive environment.
The In-Person Experience: Cairns in August
Professional development doesn’t have to mean fluorescent lights and stuffy hotel rooms — come learn, grow, and breathe.
Our four-day workshop will be held at The Salt House, a spectacular waterfront venue overlooking Cairns Harbour — a place where creativity, connection, and calm come naturally.
Highlights include:
Escape the southern winter blues with Cairns’ warm, tropical climate
Outstanding catering to fuel your learning days
Time and space to reflect, practice, and connect with like-minded participants
Access to special rates for tourist activities before or after the workshop: visit the Great Barrier Reef, explore the ancient rainforest of Kuranda, or unwind at Palm Cove
