LMA Scheme Mediator Accreditation Requirements and Mediation Practice Standards 2024

The Law Society of New South Wales Lawyer Mediator Accreditation Scheme (“LMA Scheme”) sets rigorous standards requiring lawyer mediators to have completed comprehensive mediation training from an accredited provider, as well as being subject to ongoing additional professional development requirements to ensure that their mediation skills and knowledge are up to date.

Solicitor members of The Law Society of New South Wales presently accredited as mediators will be eligible to apply under the LMA Scheme.

Members can apply online at APPLICATION FOR ACCREDITATION AS A MEDIATOR UNDER THE LMA SCHEME or submit the hard copy application form.

The application fee is $100.00 for a two-year period.

Once accredited, members will need to renew their accreditation through the LMA Scheme every two years, by demonstrating their adherence to the requirements of the Scheme.

For any questions in relation to the LMA Scheme, including eligibility, please contact the Director, Access to Justice on (02) 9926 0396 or via a2j@lawsociety.com.au.
