Consultation on Your Guide to Dispute Resolution
The consultation with key stakeholders on the upcoming joint publication by NADRAC and the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department, Your Guide to Dispute Resolution, closed on 31 March 2012.
We received 74 survey responses, which came from a variety of stakeholders, including ADR providers and practitioners, Community Legal Centres and Legal Aid Commissions, courts, tribunals, ombudsmen and law societies.
NADRAC would like to thank all those individuals and organisations who took part in the consultation, particularly those who took the time to provide detailed feedback. NADRAC and the Department will be considering all feedback provided in finalising the Guide for its anticipated release later this year.
NADRAC's new Reference
NADRAC is excited to announce our current Terms of Reference. In the Reference the Attorney-General has requested that NADRAC assist in developing a dispute resolution culture in Australia. This opportunity is welcomed by NADRAC as it enables us to focus on reviewing and consolidating various themes of work arising out of our recent reports.
NADRAC has been tasked with providing support to:
- Federal Government agencies and the legal profession in developing a dispute management culture, and
- the community in developing a dispute resolution culture through producing and disseminating Your Guide to Dispute Resolution in collaboration with the Attorney-General’s Department
NADRAC has also been asked to support the development of better evidence based ADR policy in collaboration with the Attorney-General’s Department.
We anticipate that Your Guide to Dispute Resoloution will be launched later this year.
