For over 37 years ADC has been at the forefront of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Australia. It has helped promote the uptake and best practice of ADR, and Australia\u2019s ADR expertise internationally. ADC has developed into a globally recognised, independent ADR institution with a proven record of corporate social responsibility, exceptional training and education programs, thought leadership and prestigious dispute management services. This is our journey:<\/p>\n

1986<\/h3>\n

When the NSW Government established the Australian Commercial Disputes Centre (ACDC) in 1986, the Hon. Terry Sheahan AO was Attorney General and Sir Laurence Street was Chief Justice. These visionary legal giants saw the benefits to commercial Australia of ADR and ensured that ACDC\u2019s mission was squarely focused on promoting the uptake and best practice of these new, alternative dispute resolution processes. ACDC\u2019s Workplace Mediation Training and Guidelines were an Australian first. ACDC\u2019s activities saw it collaborating with Australia\u2019s Law Societies and Bar Associations, courts and tribunals, local and national government agencies, the construction sector and commerce in general, to introduce mediation, arbitration and conciliation to all sectors of civil society.<\/p>\n

2003<\/h3>\n

ADC entered a MOU with the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (ACICA) with the goal of establishing a national centre representing international arbitration and mediation. That same year, ADC assumed responsibility for the secretariat functions of the Australian Branch of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb). During this period, ADC became the nominated authority for a variety of industry dispute schemes, including the Credit Ombudsman Service (previously the Mortgage Industry Ombudsman Scheme) and the Credit Union Dispute Resolution Centre.<\/p>\n

2010<\/h3>\n

Marking the beginning of an exciting new era for ACDC, the company relocated to new headquarters at 1 Castlereagh Street, Sydney. Increasing cross-border trade had led ACDC to pivot internationally, and in collaboration with ACICA and CIArb it opened a national centre for international commercial arbitration. ACDC branded its state-of-the-art room hire operations as the Australian International Disputes Centre (AIDC). ACDC and AIDC continued to develop their local ADR advocacy and thought leadership programs, while simultaneously forging and strengthening global partnerships to build a strong reputation on the international stage.<\/p>\n

2015<\/h3>\n

Globalisation had become the \u2018freight train\u2019 of the 21st century, and the company responded to the increasingly blurred lines between \u2018national\u2019 and \u2018international\u2019. It was time to integrate the company’s domestic (ACDC) and international (AIDC) operations. In amalgamating the two brands, the Australian Disputes Centre (ADC) was launched. The new brand identity retained the company\u2019s prestigious profile for independence, professionalism and quality of service, while drawing on the synergies that \u2018one brand\u2019 provided.<\/p>\n

Taking this respected and progressive brand forward, \u2018ADC\u2019 catalysed the next era in the company\u2019s development. This included a major domestic and international expansion of its training arm, the establishment of its national Supreme Court ADR Address Series and the launch of the annual Australian ADR Awards. Also in this period, The Hon. Robert French AC was appointed as ADC\u2019s Patron.<\/p>\n

2020<\/h3>\n

Facing the global Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020, ADC again demonstrated its agility in responding to global influences and meeting the changing demands of its clients. ADC pivoted overnight to deliver its prestigious training programs online and support the ADR sector by providing \u2018online spaces\u2019 and a \u2018concierge support service\u2019 under the banner \u2018ADC Virtual\u2019.<\/p>\n

2022<\/h3>\n

After successfully providing custom-built rooms for domestic and international ADR matters for 12 years at 1 Castlereagh Street, it was time to make a move. ADC leveraged a timely lease renewal to step away from its room hire service. This strategic move responded to the ‘new norm’ in ADR spaces and the other\u00a0 opportunities ADC saw for its ADR advocacy program. Moving into the heart of NSW\u2019s legal precinct, ADC relocated to new premises at Lockhart Chambers, 233 Macquarie Street.<\/p>\n

ADC continues to build on its celebrated history to provide an ADR Centre of Excellence that is the first choice for businesses, government and the community to resolve or learn how to resolve conflicts and disputes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nThe Australian Disputes Centre Journey | Australian Disputes Centre<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Drafting a dispute resolution clause for your contract needs careful attention.
