The Community Mediation Centre (CMC) provides mediation services for citizens to resolve relational, community and social disputes.

If there is no issue of personal safety involved, the CMC encourages Self-Manage Conflict to try resolving an issue amicably instead of calling the police or other government agencies. The objective of this proactive approach is to save the relationship with the other party. Mediation discourages individuals to be too litigious; it is less expensive and seeks a win-win outcome.
