The Children's Contact Service offers a child-focused place for children and their families to spend time together. We provide a safe, neutral and flexible service for parents, children and their families.
The Children's Contact Service supports children connect and build positive relationships with family members who they do not live, or connect with, outside of our service.
We aim to help adults improve their communication, reduce conflict and improve co-parenting relationships. We also offer assistance to help parents plan how they will manage contact arrangements once they leave the service.
Families come to use our service for many reasons including, adhering to court orders, DV, self- referred clients and those referred by another service or person.
We recognise that every family is different and will require contact arrangements specific to their family’s needs. We assess each case individually and provide the supervision required for each family.
We offer centre based visits, community visits and online video visits. We can also discuss a variety of other ways that family members can stay connected.

Types of Services
Change-overs:
Our staff facilitate change-overs and change-backs to support parents/carers facilitate a conflict-free, and child focused exchange. Your child, or children will transition safely between yourself and the other parent/carer. Children may spend hours, days, or weeks with the other parent/carer until the agreed time to transition back to the parent they live with. Change-overs can occur at the centre, online by live video, or in some cases at locations in the community.
