This Research Report forms part of the work of the Professional Standards for Family Dispute Management Practitioners project undertaken by La Trobe University. The Project is a response to ‘Raising the Standard: A Quality Framework for Primary Dispute Resolution under the Family Law Act 1975’ and has been funded by the Commonwealth Government.
The project was originally intended to articulate a Quality Framework and provide an impact statement. However, after preliminary research was undertaken, the project was redesigned to focus upon professional standards. As part of this project brief the project team will formulate draft standards aimed at providing detailed information for persons seeking accreditation, organisations seeking to employ accredited persons, accredited bodies, and trainers and teaching institutions, which can address hurdle and ongoing accreditation measures.
