Collaborative practice is about working together to settle disputes, without going to court. At the Australian Association of Collaborative Professionals (AACP), we are a national organisation of professionals practicing legal, social, and financial services to those in need. We are an an organisation representing practitioners of Collaborative Practice throughout the country. Our key focus is promoting Collaborative Practice as a respectful and constructive method of dispute resolution. The AACP is an advocacy organisation, working to advance collaborative practice in the community. It promotes the use of collaborative practice to national and state governments, championing it as a way to change the nature and process of dispute resolution in Australia. The AACP also benefits its members by giving them access to resources to help them in their practice. These include promotional materials, educational content such as research papers, and documents for use in collaborative practice. Furthermore, it connects practitioners of collaborative practice from around the nation by providing a medium to network with other like-minded professionals.
