Welcome to Lilly Pilly

Supervised Children’s Contact for Parents and Families

Lilly Pilly provide a safe, neutral and happy place for children to spend time with their family.

All Lilly Pilly, staff put children’s needs first and do not take sides with either parent or any other adult involved in the visits.
We believe every child has a right to spend time with their parents or significant other people as long as it does not affect their best interests.
We understand every situation is very different and there is no perfect solution to the time children spend with each of their parents.
Lilly Pilly’s aim is to always minimise a child’s exposure to conflict or unsafe situations.

Lilly Pilly works in close collaboration with the Federal Circuit and Family Courts, as well as State Child Safety and Community Corrections Departments. We also assist with many private arrangements.

Over time, and where possible and safe to do so, families are encouraged to move to self-management of their arrangements for spending time with their children.

Lilly Pilly’s on-site operating times are currently 8am – 7pm Monday to Thursday and 8am – 4pm Saturday / Sunday (including Public Holidays).

Industry Professionals are always welcome to visit the property at anytime. 

Our beautiful Daniel Morcombe Roses at Lilly Pilly, in front of our tennis court, remind us of the importance of being present and connected. This Day for Daniel, we’re focused on empowering our children with the tools they need to stay safe 🌹 

Child safety isn’t about fear; it’s about empowerment. It’s about teaching them to trust their gut feeling, to say ‘no,’ to run away, and to Report to a trusted adult.

Let’s use our strong connection with our kids to open up a safe space for dialogue. Talk to your children about what a trusted adult looks like and what they should do if they ever feel unsafe, whether online or in the community. Wear Red and Educate!

We’re incredibly thankful to everyone who supported and nominated Darren Caulfield for the Westfield Local Heroes Community Grant! Our hearts are full, and we’re so grateful to be part of such a generous, caring community 💛

It was a truly special morning connecting with the other finalists and learning about the incredible contributions they’re making across our community. We feel so thankful to have received a $5,000 grant from @westfieldcoomera — what an amazing opportunity to continue making a difference!

This funding will directly support the children and families we care for at Lilly Pilly and towards creating a beautiful set of garden beds. Our team is devoted to creating safe, nurturing environments where every child feels valued and supported, and this grant will help us keep building positive, lasting outcomes for those we serve 🌱

To everyone who voted for us and continues to stand behind our work — thank you, truly. Your encouragement means the world to us.
