Hot off the press - the must-read book on Australian charities

Driven by purposeDriven by purpose, a timely must-read on Australian charities in the 21st century, is now available.

Written by Stephen Judd (CEO HammondCare), Anne Robinson (Solicitor Director, Prolegis Lawyers), and Felicity Errington (currently working in international development) this lively and challenging book asserts that Australian charities risk losing sight of who they are and why they exist, and that this loss of clear, driving purpose has profound implications for the very fabric of Australian society.

"...Judd and Robinson have identified a crisis facing Australian charities as one of identity; charities know not who they are or why they do what they do. Everyone involved in the sector should read it." Donald McDonald AC, Chair, The Australiana Fund, formerly Chair ABC and CEO of Opera Australia.

Dominic Cudmore Accredited as Mediator

Dominic is now an accredited mediator under the National Mediator Accreditation System (NMAS). Dominic received his accreditation after successfully completing the LEADR* Mediation training and the requisite assessment process.

* LEADR  - Association of Dispute Resolvers is an Australasian not-for-profit membership organisation that promotes and facilitates the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) including mediation.

What is ADR?

ADR (alternative dispute resolution) is an approach to settling disagreements without going through the Court system. Using the ADR approach an impartial person will work with those in dispute with each other to help them reach an acceptable resolution. It benefits participants in many ways, not the least of which is avoiding the prohibitive costs of addressing a dispute through the Court system.

Dominic's accreditation qualifies him to mediate resolutions to disputes between organisations, disputes between an employer and employee(s), or disputes over contracts. You can contact Dominic on dcudmore@prolegis.com.au
