6. We are unable to estimate how long you’ll be on the waiting list as this depends on many factors.

We also suggest that you apply to other programs to increase your chance of getting the help you need.

7. When you are offered a place at Gumbi Gumbi, you will need to ensure you have the required $540 fortnightly rent either prior or on the day you enter our program. Several organisations or services can assist you with this cost eg. employment providers.
