Adelaide Youth Training Centre (AYTC) residents are entitled to at least two personal visits each week from family and friends. Immediate family members will always have first priority. Immediate family can visit AYTC residents during the week, and other family and friends can visit on the weekend.
In addition to personal visits, AYTC residents can have professional and support visits from people such as solicitors or lawyers, counsellors, religious advisors, Aboriginal Elders, case managers and independent advocates.
The visitor meeting place at the AYTC is the Community Centre. There is also a playground area for family visits and a separate family room can be arranged.
AYTC residents need to let staff know who they want to visit them and their contact details, as approvals need to take place before visitors can come to the AYTC.
