Resolving franchising disputes

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

What to do…

  • Find out what assistance is available from the Office of the Mediation Adviser.
  • See the Dispute resolution page under our Fair trading topic for information on dispute resolution and handling.
  • Consult a business adviser, accountant or solicitor for advice.
