Supervised Parenting time

North Brisbane and Sunshine Coast Children’s Contact Services
Family breakdown can cause children and youth to be separated from one of their parents for a period of time. Through supervised visits we reunite children with their parent, so they can strengthen their relationship and move forward, positively and safely. We provide a safe, neutral child focused venue for supervised visits to occur between children, the parent they do not live with and other significant people in the children’s life.
Supervised Parenting Time
Supervision is time for your child/ren to spend with you until things are sorted out. There are many reasons why one parent is required to have supervised visitation. Don’t think supervision is the end, it’s not, it’s the beginning. It’s your opportunity to rebuild a life with your children happily and safely.
Why do I do this work?
It’s difficult for children when their parents separate. Children grieve the loss of a parent when they cannot interact with them. Children want to be loved by both parents and want to love them both. Children and youth want to be allowed to love both of their parents.
A child that has not seen one of their parents for a long time is very nervous when they begin supervision. More often than not nearly every child runs straight into the arms of the parent they do not live with. Children can have both parents in their lives, safely.
In the future, I hope parents will put their struggles aside and focus on parenting their children. I say to many parents, ‘you are going to have your children’s birthdays, engagement parties, weddings, christenings, grandchildren’s birthdays and so much more so, get along for your kids’ sake.
You don’t want to miss out on half of your child’s life’. Sandy.
Parent/carer Information
North Brisbane Children’s Contact Service provides a safe environment which nurtures the right of children and youth to have contact with their parents and significant others in their lives. We aim to minimise a child’s exposure to conflict or unsafe situations when parents are separating or have separated.
This service facilitates safe supervised parenting time for children and youth with the parent/carer child/ren do not live with and significant family members in the child’s life.
Our History
Originally this children’s contact service was operated by Sylvia and based in Caboolture prior to 2010. Sylvia relocated the service to Redcliffe and renamed it Humpybong Place. In 2011 Sylvia retired in her 70’s.
Humpybong Place went under the wing of Pine Rivers Neighbourhood Centre in 2013 and we changed the name to Encircle Children’s Contact Centre.
North Brisbane Children’s Contact Service took over Encircle Children’s Contact Centre in 2015. The coordinator moved with this children’s contact service from Humpybong Place to North Brisbane Children’s Contact Service which now services the Sunshine Coast as well as North Brisbane.
