Welcome to Lilly Pilly
Supervised Children’s Contact for Parents and Families
At Lilly Pilly, we work with families to encourage positive interaction between children and their families and to support the strengthening of these relationships.
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.
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.
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.
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 the child.
Lilly Pilly’s on-site operating times are currently 8am – 4pm Monday to Thursday and 8am – 4pm Saturdays (including Public Holidays).
