When a referral is received it is reviewed and approved by the manager of the service. A referral may be prioritized based on a specific urgent need. Most frequently children are placed on a waiting list by date of referral. You will receive a letter indicating that the referral has been received and the estimated length of wait. Generally, the length of wait will be from a few weeks to months and is dependent on the service being requested.
