My lil girl’s mother did the same thing to me bud, the other party can only “refuse/delay” it 2 times (in nsw that is & it’ll be about a month between appointments) before the mediation service like “relationships aus” will write you “Cert 60i”, then you can fill-out/lodge a parenting order through the Family Courts (Assuming you’re on the birth cert of your lil girl). I went to mediation hoping for 50/50 custody of my lil girl, offered up 4 different ‘Plans/options’ (not all 50/50) for the mothers consideration, she knocked back all of my proposed plans. Not one possible idea was put forward by her, and the mediators basically told me to prep myself for a long drawn out process. but the silver lining of that is that if she breaches the Court Ordered Parenting Order (with out an acceptable excuse), she’s accountable for it and that’ll weigh heavily in your favour regarding any court proceeding further down the track.
Here’s a handy link to get you started bud:

Best of luck with it mate and hope you get to see you youngen soon.
