Waiting List and Keeping in Touch

You can contact Missiondale to fill out an application form over the phone to be placed on the Waiting List. Once you are on the Waiting List, you are required to keep in touch with us once a week on (03) 6391 8013.

This enables us to keep up to date with your current contact details and if you ring each week, you will move up on the Waiting List.

If we do not hear from you for a period of three weeks, you will be removed from the Waiting List. If you ring after that three week period, you will go back onto the Waiting List from that date and start the process again.
