Family Law Rules 2004 (Cth), that the parties are to share equal parental responsibility for the child, [Name], who will be the subject of supervised time with the father.

2. That the father shall have supervised time with [Name] pursuant to Rule 16.02 of the Family Law Rules 2004 (Cth) until such time as the matter is further ordered by the court or until the final parenting order is made.

3. That the parties are to each pay their own costs of this proceeding.

The case involves the parents of [Name], who was born on [Date]. The dispute between the father, [Father], and the mother, [Mother], centres on the parenting arrangements for [Name], specifically concerning the nature and extent of the father's involvement in the child's life. The matter was heard in the Family Court of Australia. The primary concern was whether the father, who had a history of self-harming behaviour, posed a risk to the child during their time together. The court was required to decide if supervised time was necessary and whether the father should be granted sole parental responsibility.

The court carefully considered the evidence and expert assessments provided. It was noted that the father had recorded two instances of self-harming behaviour. The court was also provided with a psychological assessment which highlighted the father's mental health issues. The court found that while the father's involvement was important for [Name], the risk of unsupervised contact was too high due to the father's history of self-harm. Therefore, the court ordered supervised time until further assessment or a final parenting order could be made. The court also decided that both parents should share equal parental responsibility for [Name].
