If you live in Victoria and are going through family separation issues, you may need help from one of the supervised contact centres Melbourne or Gippsland. Better Place Australia’s professional Children’s Contact Service in Narre Warren and Children’s Contact Service in Sale are here to help.
Separation causes emotions such as hurt, anger, anxiety and fear. It can also impact on the child’s development. This can make child contact arrangements difficult. At Better Place Australia, we provide an accessible Children’s Contact Service to help make things easier for you.
The beauty of our supervised contact centre in Melbourne, the Narre Warren location is easy to get to, at 86-88 Victor Crescent, near the intersection of Princes Highway and the M1. There are many local natural attractions you can go to and enjoy before or after the visit, such as Bayview Park and Wilson Botanic Park. Getting back to nature can often foster a sense of peace and help with your internal processing.
The location for Sale is also easy to find at 63-65 Foster Street Sale. The supervised contact centre in Gippsland is close to local natural attractions in Sale. After the visit or changeover, you can spend time at places such as Lake Guthridge or Victoria Park in Sale. Getting back to nature can often clear your mind and help you process issues.
What are supervised contact centres Melbourne?
The Australian Government Institute of Family Studies says supervised contact centres Melbourne are “independent services that enable children of separated parents to have safe contact with the parent they do not live with, in circumstances where parents are unable to manage their own contact arrangements.”
How does the service help you?
For parents who are separating or who have separated, the Better Place Australia Children’s Contact Service offers a safe, neutral and child-focussed environment for supervised visits and facilitated changeovers with parents, family and carers. This is conducive to establishing and developing a healthy relationship with the child.
The service:
- helps parents and family members re-establish or maintain contact with one another
- encourages and nurtures positive interactions between parents and other family members
- supports you in strengthening the relationships that are important to your children.
We also provide a central referral point to a range of family and relationship support services.
