treat mediation as a BIG DEAL. A really BIG DEAL. Here attendance is optional and in my experience, some parties do not attend (and they re not penalised)
Just to clarify, attendance is not compulsory for the respondents but it is for the plaintiffs. Apart from in a few very specific circumstances, your application for an NCAT hearing requires you to confirm that you have genuinely attempted mediation. If you didn’t turn up for the mediation, there will be no Tribunal.
