Applicants seeking rooming house accommodation (located in St Kilda, Elwood and Balaclava) must attend the office for an interview with a tenancy staff member. Interviews are conducted between 2.00pm and 4.00pm Tuesday to Friday. No appointment is necessary. Interviews are held at Suite 6/22-28 Fitzroy Street, St Kilda.
