Our Story

Since 2014, Power Courage Voice development family practice has been serving parents and children. In 2018, Parenting Together Apart for Parents NOT Together officially opened, with its focus to provide a measure for change for separated families. For 14 years, its founder, Jeannie Magri’s, real-life experience within the Australian Family Law Court process, noted gaps, loopholes and the brutal reality of a system that its only focus was to financially and emotionally destroy families. It was in 2014, after 18 separate applications made by the other party, a judge banned the OP from any further applications to be submitted, finalising Jeannie’s journey in the family law court legal system. Without time wasted, Jeannie started to structure a plan to fill the gaps and loopholes she endured, and now in our tenth year, PTA with PCV have provided support for separated families saving them thousands of dollars of legal court costs, helping parents stay focused on the next chapter of their lives sooner. Jeannie has remained focused on not changing a system but working with parents one family at a time. The Network Professional Partners are an added resource for our parents seeking support with our integrated services, giving parents additional support where required. PCV and PTA have worked with hundreds of parents and children and continue to pave the way for change!

Joanne supports high standards of training and professional practice for mediators and family dispute resolution practitioners. ✤ Joanne personal experience with separation, only knows how painful relationship breakdown can be. Some people experience high conflict and others go to the other extreme and try to sort things out without professional advice or guidance. Doing that can leave people with unhealed wounds and slow the rebuilding process following your separation. Engaging with non-adversarial Family Law System services can make a really big difference, prevent mistakes, and help to develop a parenting alliance for the sake of your kids. ✤ Joanne’s mission is to prevent disputes escalating into entrenched conflict, abuse, and violence. She does this by training and supporting mediators and helping people in dispute to access and use mediation to openly discuss issues, negotiate and work towards mutually acceptable agreements in a respectful way.
