Giving Kids a Voice in
Family Mediation.
- ABOUT US
Balancing Family Mediation
with Child Well-Being.
Kids In The Middle is an integrated, Child Consultancy service designed for children caught in the middle of family mediation, working with, and alongside Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners (FDRP’s), and other professional mediators, with the focus to remain out of the Family Court.

Common questions about
our services.
1. What is Kids in the Middle?
Kids In The Middle is an Australian child-focused service supporting children, parents, and professionals through family separation and change. We give children a safe voice in the process, helping families communicate better, reduce conflict, and prioritise wellbeing at home, at school, and in the community.
2. What happens in a child consultation?
A child consultation gives children a private, supportive space to express their feelings and experiences. Using gentle conversation, art, or play-based activities, the child can share what’s important to them. With parental consent, the consultant summarises this information in a neutral, child-safe way to assist Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners (FDRPs), schools, or parents in creating plans that reflect the child’s needs.
3. Can both parents be involved?
Yes. In most cases, both parents are encouraged to be involved. We may meet with parents individually first to understand family dynamics, and then work together to support the child’s voice in a balanced and respectful way. Our focus is always the child’s safety and emotional wellbeing — not taking sides.
4. How can schools get involved in Kids In The Middle programs?
Schools can register to implement the Safe Steps School Handover Support Program — a structured, trauma-informed approach to managing handovers between separated parents. Schools receive access to resources, training, printable tools, and professional development options to support staff, students, and families. Participation helps create calm, child-friendly transitions and builds a culture of understanding and inclusion.
