Children’s Contact Service – Launceston
The Children’s Contact Service assists with providing safe and positive contact arrangements for children to spend time with their parent or other significant person after family separation.
The Children's Contact Service makes it possible for contact arrangements to take place with a minimum of stress both for children and their parents. It can also help with establishing or building a relationship between a child and parent when there has been a period of limited or no contact.
