For Professionals: Consulting Services Supporting the Integration of Parenting Coordination in Family Law Systems
At the Parenting Coordination Coordination (PCI), we partner with courts, law firms, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services, government agencies, and community organisations to design and implement Parenting Coordination models that reduce re-litigation, support co-parenting stability and improve outcomes for children and families.
We recognise that Parenting Coordination is still an emerging practice in Australia, and many systems need tailored support to integrate it effectively into existing legal and service frameworks. Our consulting services help bridge this gap by offering practical, strategic, and evidence-informed guidance to support adoption and implementation at both the organisational and system level.

For Professionals
We are a national organisation that brings deep expertise, field-tested models and a commitment to ethical, child-focused practice. We understand the realities of high-conflict family dynamics and the challenges faced by professionals working in legal, court-connected, and community settings. Our goal is to help your organisation embed Parenting Coordination in a way that reduces parental conflict, lightens the load on courts, and keeps children out of the middle.
Whether you are exploring Parenting Coordination for the first time or looking to refine an existing program, PCI can help you build a model that works.
