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.
