Judith Richardson – Master Trainer & Parent Educator:
Over my 30 years with ETIA, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of parents, carers, leaders, and professionals build stronger, more connected relationships.
I also train new instructors to bring these practical, evidence-based tools into their own communities and workplaces.
These programs focus on real-world communication skills that reduce conflict, improve understanding, and create lasting change at home and beyond.
Training is flexible and available online or in person.
Ready to feel more confident and connected? I’d love to hear from you.

P.E.T.
Written by Judith Richardson
In today’s busy world, it’s easy to fill our schedules and still feel disconnected, from others and from ourselves. Each person has a unique balance of needs for different types of true quality time.

Holding Family Problem Solving Meetings regularly will have so many benefits for your whole family and raise trust and confidence within your relationships.
Written by Judith Richardson
Even after you have mastered the P.E.T. skills you will always have times when you act or speak in reaction. However what matters more to your children than the fact that you have spoken in anger or acted inappropriately is the fact that you take responsibility for your actions and apologise.
The Effectiveness Training Institute of Australia (ETIA) Ltd is a not-for-profit, community based organisation that is dedicated to making courses in communication and conflict resolution skills available and accessible to all people in Australia.
ETIA’s mission is to provide individuals with effective communication and conflict resolution skills to build connected, harmonious relationships.
Our inspiration and programs come from the late Dr Thomas Gordon who is the author and founder of Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) program and Gordon Training International (GTI).
