The Standards

Two standards have been developed: the Approval Standards (for mediators seeking approval under the National Mediator Accreditation System) and the Practice Standards (for mediators operating under the National Mediation Accreditation System).

The Standards are relevant to: 

• mediators seeking approval under the NMAS
• accredited mediators operating under the NMAS
• users of mediation services including business, courts, government and community agencies and individuals.
