Resolving franchising disputes

If a dispute occurs and it cannot be resolved between you (the franchisor) and a franchisee, the Office of the Mediation Adviser (OMA) can help you resolve it without going to court. The OMA has a specialist panel of mediators across Australia who are trained in mediation and have commercial experience. There is a fee once the mediator is appointed.
