Welcome to the MATA home page

MATA (Mediation And Training Alternatives) was formed in January 2002. The purpose was to create a community-based business that is centred on commercial mediation, both in practice and in training, and was also person-driven rather than profit-driven.

Central to MATA's aims is the practice and training of people in dispute avoidance and in the positive approaches to conflict; and if problems do escalate into disputes, to manage and resolve the disputes quickly and cost-effectively without going to court.

In addition to the founder members, MATA has alliances with other trainers who have signed up to the founding principles and to the membership conditions to form a teaching community that aims for the highest quality of service and training. A list of members is also available on the website.
