Hi Dawn, My brother's little girl had to get grommits and she was on a waiting list too as they don't have private cover. They were told the list was three months long (they live in Rowville), they got a call not long after being told that and she was in by the Friday as they had a cancellation. Perhaps you could get into your Dr again and put a few tears on to see if he can get him in sooner, there must be a priority system as in the severeness of the ear problem.
Ben has take 2 steps so maybe by Christmas he will be a toddling toddler!

Take care

Heather
