At Evolvd, we make the first step simple by contacting the other person for you. We send them a written invitation, usually by email or mail, along with a copy of our guide to property mediation. We ask them to get in touch within 7 days.
After that, we update you on the outcome and talk with you about what you would like to do next. If needed, we can help you find legal services.
-
Is an assessment required for all Property Mediation?
Yes. Before any joint session, each person attends a private assessment. This is a confidential meeting where you can share your story, ask questions about the process, and raise any safety concerns or special needs. The mediator will also explain how property mediation works and what to expect in the sessions. These assessments help make sure mediation is safe, and focused on finding practical outcomes.
-
Mediation Session 1: Establishing the Asset Pool
The first session focuses on setting out the asset pool. This means listing all assets, liabilities, and superannuation to make sure everything is included. You will also look at the values of each item. If you cannot agree on values, the mediator will help you decide on a process for obtaining valuations before the next session.
Once the valuations are complete, we strongly recommend that you speak with your solicitor. Getting legal advice at this stage can give you clarity and confidence before moving into the next session, where you will start exploring settlement options.
Mediation Session 2: Working Towards Settlement
The second session is primarily focused on how to divide the asset pool. This takes into account each person’s contributions during the relationship, as well as future needs. If an agreement is reached, the mediator will prepare a Heads of Agreement and provide it to both parties’ solicitors. Your solicitors can then draft it into a Binding Financial Agreement or apply for Consent Orders through the court.
-
A Heads of Agreement (HoA), is a record of what was agreed in mediation regarding the division of assets. It is signed by both parties at the conclusion of mediation.
Once signed the parties take solicitors to draft the HoA into consent orders or a binding financial agreement (BFA) for submission to court.
Please speak with your solicitor about the difference between consent orders or BFA’s.

Clients choose Evolvd for property mediation because it is faster, more affordable, and less stressful than going to court. Our mediators create a safe, balanced space to clarify the asset pool, discuss contributions and future needs, and work toward practical agreements that can be formalised with solicitors. This gives you more control over the outcome while saving time, money, and unnecessary conflict.

Online mediation offers many benefits for separating couples. It allows you to join from home or work, saving time and travel, and makes it easier to schedule if you live in different locations. Meeting online can also feel more comfortable, as you are in a familiar environment, and it can provide an added sense of safety in situations of high conflict. The process is efficient too, with documents shared quickly and sessions often scheduled sooner.

Invitation Process for Parenting Mediation
We contact the other parent on your behalf. We send a written invitation with information about mediation and ask them to respond within 7 days. If there is no reply, we follow up with a phone call and allow another 7 days.
We then update you on the outcome. If they agree, they will complete their own assessment before any joint session is arranged. If they decline or do not respond, we will talk with you about the next steps.
-
An assessment is a private meeting you have with the mediator before any joint session. It gives you the chance to share your story in a confidential setting, talk about what matters most to you, raise any safety concerns or special needs, and ask questions about the process. The mediator also explains how mediation works and makes sure it is safe and suitable to continue.
-
Every parenting mediation session at Evolvd follows a clear, supportive structure. This helps create a respectful space where everyone knows what to expect and feels guided throughout the process.
At the start of your session, your Family Mediator will explain how the process will run, set some ground rules, and confirm the topics you'd both like to focus on. From there, you’ll move into a structured conversation where each person can raise concerns, explore and generate options, and work toward practical, future focused agreements.
Evolvd offers three session formats. The Family Mediator determines the structure. However, they will work collaboratively with both parties to find the approach that best supports safe, balanced, and constructive communication:
Joint Sessions – Both parents participate in the same online space and speak directly with each other, with the mediator guiding the discussion. This format works well when communication is respectful and cooperative.
Shuttle Sessions – Each parent remains in a separate online space while the mediator moves between them. This approach helps reduce tension and is often used when communication is strained or safety is a concern.
Hybrid Sessions – A flexible mix of joint and shuttle. For example, you might begin in shuttle and move to joint if things progress positively, or the reverse if tensions rise.
The structure may adapt as the process unfolds, always with a focus on what will support meaningful discussion and help move things forward constructively.
-
A parenting plan is a written agreement made between parents that sets out the arrangements for children after separation. It usually covers where the children live, time with each parent, schooling, holidays, and how decisions will be made. Parenting plans are flexible and can be updated if both parents agree. If an agreement is not reached in mediation, the mediator can issue a Section 60I certificate. This certificate is required if you want to start legal proceedings for parenting orders in court.
