As someone else mentioned if the father could easily over power the child's mother if she was the appointed supervisor and he still lived in the home.
Appointed supervisors are usually someone employed to carry out that job.
This is my intrepretation of what court ordered supervised access/visits entail, especially ones where the parent has been charged with physically abusing the child.

How can the Childrenโs Contact Service be accessed?
In most circumstances families will use the Childrenโs Contact Service following the implementation of a Family Court Order or a Parenting Plan.
To arrange for either supervised visits or facilitated changeover both parents must phone their nearest service and organise an appointment.
Both parents will be individually interviewed in order to complete an intake assessment form. Specific matters of concern can be discussed at the interview.
Once an agreement is reached and all information collated including copies of current court orders and other relevant reports, the service will commence.
