Background The ADR Directorate has a budget of $4.5million per annum to expand ADR across the state. In 2008 we commenced a program of expansion of ADR services throughout regional Victoria. The 5 elements of the budget are as follows: • Establishment of ADR Directorate • ADR in Higher Courts (Supreme and County Courts) • ADR in regional Victoria – Dispute Settlement Centre • Communication and online strategy • Data and reporting framework PG4
ADR in regional Victoria Dispute Settlement Centre of Victoria The Dispute Settlement Centre of Victoria employs 40 staff throughout Victoria. Since 2008 we have progressively located staff in 8 regional Justice Centres. Staff work in partnership with local agencies to resolve a wide range of disputes at a local community level. Mediations are conducted by staff plus 120 sessional mediators drawn from a range of professions across Victoria. The aim of this project is early intervention – resolving disputes long before they get to the Court door. PG5
