New Office Premises at Caulfield

Relationship Matters moved to new premises in Caulfield. We look forward to strengthening our services in the southeastern suburbs and surrounding communities.

Family Dispute Resolution

We are very excited to have a new mediator join our team as our Senior Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner.  Nhi Tran has been a Family Law Mediator/FDRP since 2001 and has a wide breadth of mediation experience.  As well as assisting separating couples resolves issues around parenting and property matters, Nhi has experience in mediating with other families in conflict, including parents and their adolescent children and where there is conflict in the workplace.  Nhi is also fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin and Vietnamese and is able to mediate in those languages. 

Nhi says that she still enjoys supporting clients to resolve their issues and especially enjoys it when they reach agreements and leave the session with a smile.

Men's Behaviour Change (MBCP)

Gazetting of the 7 new Specialist Family Violence Courts (SFVC) across Victoria. This adds to the previous 5, making a total of 12 SFVC. This is important because, The new SFVCs feature remote hearing facilities, more staff, improved processes and list management to provide a better and more specialised response to Family violence.  Importantly, they strengthen our multi-disciplinary response within local communities.  

They are in: Melbourne, Broadmeadows, Dandenong, Geelong, Latrobe Valley, Ringwood and Sunshine. Work is also underway for a SFVC in Wyndham in 2023. That will mean a total of 4 in the West DFFH region, where RM’s MBCP funding sits. 

This will be further enhanced by the opening of two Orange Doors in Wyndham (Late 2022) and Brimbank-Melton (October 2022) as referral and information sharing points. 

8 of the 9 MBCPs that Relationship Matters have running concurrently are based in the DFFH West region.
