ELROY & ELROY

This matter concerned orders made by consent between the father and mother regarding their child, X. The proceedings were before Judge Harland.

The court was required to determine the terms of parenting orders, including provisions for the father's time with X, the involvement of various professionals and services in X's care, and the communication and co-parenting arrangements between the parties.

The court made detailed orders reflecting the parties' agreement. These included specific arrangements for the father's time with X on Easter and on his rostered days off, and mandates for both parties to ensure X attends appointments with Dr W and follows her recommendations. The orders also required the father to engage with the National Disability Insurance Scheme and complete a parenting course, and for both parties to engage with handover and counselling services. Further provisions addressed communication regarding X's care, including notice periods for changes to the father's work roster and the use of designated handover services. The court also noted the father's intention to cover gap fees for medical appointments.
