Peer Group Supervision Program 2026

Starting 1st May 2026 | Online | Member Only Event (Complimentary)

Resolution Institute is offering its 2026 Peer Group Supervision Program, exclusively for members practising in areas such as Family Law, Commercial, Community, Workplace, Restorative, and other related fields.

This initiative will provide an opportunity for member mediators around Australia to bring cases to friendly, small group supervision and discuss the challenges they have faced in their practice. Peer Group Supervision is designed for practitioners who are actively practising and able to bring cases for reflective discussion. The sessions will be confidential and safe. 

  • Closing date to choose your peer supervision program - 20 April 2026, 5pm Sydney time
  • Case studies are a significant part of the Peer Group Supervision Program
  • CPD points and attendance will be marked.

The sessions will be for about 60 - 90 minutes and run on-line for 6- 10 practitioners at each session. We anticipate the session will run monthly until November 2026.

You will receive 1 CPD point per session, subject to attendance and active participation. Please find below the peer supervision groups for 2026.

Some testimonials from Past Peer Supervision participants:

Supervisor: "Each month I looked forward to wonderful encouraging conversations with mediators with varying backgrounds, experiences and interests. I was never disappointed. I enjoyed the experience and learned much from the questions and ideas that were exchanged in the group."

Supervisor: "This was a great opportunity to meet new and experienced mediators, understand their challenges and help them gain, skills, knowledge and confidence."

Supervisee: "It provided a safe space to speak with and learn from colleagues who are doing similar work and to hear about their challenges in a reflective space."

Supervisee: "The thing I enjoyed the most is the opportunity to connect and learn from others doing similar work. I'm the only one at my work who does this FT and it can be really isolating so it's great hearing from others what their challenges are and knowing that it's okay!"
