About Queensland Collaborative Law

Queensland Collaborative Law was established in 2006 following the success of the process in the United States and the United Kingdom. Queensland Collaborative Law was established to:

  • Promote the collaborative practice in Queensland;
  • Educate and promote collaborative practice to the public at large;
  • Bring together professionals from differing disciplines who share the same commitment to the collaborative process;
  • Provide for the establishment and development of practice groups to promote and encourage networking and support amongst collaborative professionals;
  • Allow a forum for entry level and advanced training and ongoing professional development;
  • Make available to members and other professionals the highest standard of recognised traininers from the national and international arena;
  • Provide members with access to precedents, research, and other practical tools to assist in the “doing” of collaborative practice.

Queensland Collaborative Law adopts the standards for collaborative practitioners as set out by the peak international body for collaborative law; the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals (IACP). We adopt and subscribe to their standards, mission, vision and values, which are as follows:
