All information recorded on the Centre’s file and all other information relating to the client and their children is kept confidential within the Centre. However, there are limitations to client confidentiality.  It is important that all clients are aware of these limitations

The specific limits to client confidentiality are:

1. Where there is suspicion of child abuse.
2. Where a client discloses their intent to harm themselves or someone else.
3. Where it appears a criminal offence has been committed.
4. Where disclosure of information would assist police investigations into the commission of criminal offences.
5. Where there is a court appointed legal representative of a child who is a client of the Centre. This may take the form of written or verbal information.
6. Where there is a Case Worker appointed by the Department of Child Safety or other person appointed by the Department of Child Safety. This may take the form of written or verbal information.
