About Us<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For almost 35 years Positive Solutions has been providing support and assistance to individuals, couples, families, workplaces and communities across Tasmania. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positive Solutions was incorporated under the name Community Mediation Service Tasmania Inc and was established as a pilot project in 1990 with seed money from the Peace Trust, Law Society of Tasmania and the Law Foundation. After some research and the development of a mediation model suitable for Tasmania, Positive Solutions opened for business in Hobart in April 1991. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mediations in the neighbourhood and workplace areas were carried out on a fee-for-service basis and with sponsorship from some local councils and State Government departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From these beginnings we have grown our service delivery from Hobart to across the state and expanded our services to include family mediation, counselling, workplace services, including employee assistance programs, training and professional supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are committed to enabling people to build personal pathways to enhance their wellbeing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
