Practise Notice: Private practise hours have changed to Mon/Tues/Sat only due to the appointment of practising at Interrelate Wed/Thurs/Fri. Calls, emails and appointments will be addressed on these days only.
From the start, middle or after separation or divorce… Katie Park can be with you every step of the way through either Mediation, Parenting Coordination and Child Consulting for Child Inclusive Mediation.
I offer three separate roles: FDRP, PARENTING COORDINATOR and CHILD CONSULTANT.
Working in the Family Law space is a privilege and has been a refreshing change after a 20+ year career in the media industry as a Breakfast Radio Executive Producer for Nova Entertainment, ARN and SCA.
My unique media background has given me a wealth of experience when it comes to high conflict situations and managing people with all types of personalities, complexities and cultural backgrounds. Mediation is all about human communication. It’s impartially facilitating a conversation, that is effective and safe, to resolve an issue with the outcome being something that everyone can live with.
It’s just that simple.
Keeping things simple and safe, cost and time effective, prioritising the best interests of the children, providing support systems and education opportunities, are all paramount in my role when moving families forward through the complex Family Law space when they are at their most vulnerable time.
My qualifications and multiple skill set is foundational when it comes to best practise with assisting and supporting families, on a human level, with a deep understanding of family law, the complexities of separation conflict and the effect it has on children’s wellbeing and development before, during and after the process.
I just get it. My goal is to give my best support, to allow a future lifestyle that is healthy, safe and peaceful for all.
I am currently working part time at Interrelate Gosford (wed/thurs/Fri) and for Lifestyle Mediation (mon/tues/sat) by appointment.
I am an Accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (FDRP). Accredited by the Australian Government Attorney General’s Department to conduct family dispute resolution and issue section 60I certificates under the Family Law Act 1975. I have a Grad Dip FDRP- College of Law.
I am a Nationally Accredited AMDRAS Mediator through Australian Dispute Centre.
I am a qualified Parenting Coordinator and a member of Parenting Coordination Australia. A parenting coordinator (PC) is a neutral third party who helps divorced or separated parents implement their parenting plan/orders, oversee all communication and resolve conflicts in a child centred way.
I am a Child Consultant for Child Inclusive Mediation. I hold a certificate through “Children Beyond Dispute” by Jenny MacIntosh. A Child Consultant is a trained professional who speaks with children (if assessed as appropriate by the FDRP and Child Consultant) in a safe and supportive environment to understand their experiences, concerns, and needs, often in the context of parental separation or family disputes.
During the period I worked at Smooth FM, I was a guest social commentator for parenting issues on Channel Nine TODAY Show and Seven SUNRISE and a guest Parenting and Lifestyle Writer for Mamamia and NINEHoney. I had a successful Podcast Called “The Worst Day of Your Life” and I have a children’s book published called “The Shut Down”.
A parenting coordinator (PC) is a neutral third party who helps divorced or separated parents implement their parenting plan and resolve conflicts in a child centred way. Their role begins after parenting orders or parenting agreements/plans are established and focuses on helping parents manage day-to-day issues, implement agreements, and reduce conflict to improve outcomes for the children. This is different from a mediator, whose role is to help parents reach their initial agreements. The parenting coordination process is non-confidential and reportable in a Court, so both parties are held accountable for their actions and behaviour. As well as coaching, education and conflict management, parenting coordination may also involve a degree of monitoring to ensure each party complies with any relevant court orders as well as the monitoring of emails and messages to evaluate communication skills and identify any improvements needed.
Accredited by the Australian Government Attorney General’s Department to conduct family dispute resolution and issue section 60I certificates under the Family Law Act 1975.I provide structured family dispute resolution services to people affected by family separation and dispute. My role is neutral and independent. If deemed appropriate to do so by my assessment of each case, I can facilitate a safe, structured process (that is child focused) to help parties communicate, explore options and work towards genuine agreement wherever possible. I can provide mediation for Parenting and Property/Finance disputes.
I am certified through “Children Beyond Dispute” by Jenny Macintosh. A Child Consultant is a trained professional who speaks with children (if assessed as appropriate by the FDRP and Child Consultant) in a safe and supportive environment to understand their experiences, concerns, and needs, often in the context of parental separation or family disputes. Their role is to provide the child’s perspective to parents and other decision-makers in the mediation process via Child Inclusive Mediation, which can help facilitate child-focused agreements that are more likely to be durable and, in the child’s, best interest.
