1. Training - A person wishing to become a mediator should seek details of available training programs. CRS periodically offers Certificate IV in Community Mediation.

2. Registration - A person who has completed an appropriate training course can be registered as a mediator under the ACT Mediation Act by an approved agency such as CRS.

3. Panel Membership - Once registered the mediator can then seek employment with mediation agencies - this usually involves a specific assessment and selection process to ensure that the applicant suits the agency. In CRS’ case, when there are vacancies on its mediation panel applicants can seek one of those places. For more information on the panel membership selection process see How are Mediators Chosen?

For information regarding training programs, registration and panel membership please contact the Executive Officer.
