The Children’s Contact Service provides safe, neutral, onsite facilitated changeovers and supervised visits for children and their separated parents. This enables the children to maintain a meaningful relationship with the parent they do not live with.

Parental separation can be a very difficult time for families and can be highly detrimental to the health and wellbeing of children who are exposed to high-conflict situations. Our aim is to advance the best interests of children through child-focused, best practice service delivery. The children’s safety and wellbeing is always the first priority for staff, who remain neutral in situations of parental conflict.

Funding for the program is administered by the Department of Social Services as a sub-program of Family Law Services. under the Families and Children Activity, Families and Communities Programme. For more information, go to the Department website or visit the Family Relationships website.
