All Detainees are provided with reasonable means of maintaining personal relationships. In addition to telephone calls and written correspondence, they may have visits with close relatives, other family members, and persons with whom they have a pre-existing personal relationship. Special care is taken to facilitate family visits using simplified visiting procedures.

The Registrar has authorised video visits with close relatives to provide Detainees with an additional means of maintaining family relationships. Please find more information on the procedure for video visits with close relatives here.

Close relatives are defined in the Rules of Detention as a spouse or partner, parent, child, grandchild, brother, sister (including half- or step-brothers and sisters), grandparent, and sons- and daughters-in-law.

Information regarding in-person visits for family members and other personal visitors, including information on applying for permission to visit and scheduling a visit during visiting hours, can be found in the Practice Direction on Visits and Communications and the Visiting Procedures for Family Members and Other Personal Visitors.
