Registration is required to attend a workshop.

Workshop fees are payable at the rate advertised at the time of registration. Any changes to workshop fees after registration will not affect confirmed bookings unless otherwise agreed.

5. Workshop Content & Confidentiality

Workshop content is provided for general professional development and educational purposes only.

While workshops may include discussion of workplace scenarios, examples or participant questions, all content is general in nature and does not constitute legal advice, workplace relations advice, medical advice, or mental health treatment. Workshop content may not be suitable for every situation, and participants should seek independent professional advice where appropriate.

Participants remain responsible for their own decisions, actions and outcomes arising from how they choose to apply workshop content within their organisation or role.

Workshops may involve discussion of workplace scenarios, experiences or examples shared voluntarily by participants. Participants are responsible for the content of any information they choose to disclose during a workshop, including ensuring that they do not improperly disclose confidential, sensitive or personal information relating to others in their workplace.

Your Mediation Australia Pty Limited does not verify and is not responsible for the accuracy or appropriateness of information shared by participants during workshops.

Participants must treat as confidential any information shared by other participants during a workshop, in accordance with Clause 9.

Nothing in this clause creates a duty of confidentiality equivalent to legal professional privilege or mediation confidentiality.

6. No Professional Relationship for Workshops

Participation in a workshop does not create a solicitor-client, mediator-client, therapist-client, coach-client or advisor-client relationship with Your Mediation Australia Pty Limited, trading as Your Mediation or HATify, or with any presenter, facilitator or other representative delivering the workshop.

Any responses to questions or discussion during a workshop are provided on a general basis only and should not be relied upon as advice specific to your circumstances.

7. Mediation Services

Where mediation services are engaged, a professional relationship is created only in accordance with the applicable mediation agreement or engagement terms.

Those documents govern the mediation process, confidentiality, fees and professional obligations.
