On Australia Recordsearch there is a WWI record which tells us this about Charles which might be helpful in tracing him:

1) He lists his occupation as "missionary"
2) He was previously apprenticed to a draper
3) He was in the Tasmania rangers + the rifle club.
4) He was in North Carlton, Victoria in 1922
5) He was in Scottsdale in 1923

There's also another (undigitised) record dated 1920 which might give a hint as to where they went.

Application for assistance for Charles Henry Ball re theological course at Ormond College

This Charles Henry, whoever he was, did get to Ormond College (in Melbourne)
http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/4575524?searchTerm=%22C%20H%20Ball%22%20%22Ormond%20College%22

Trove shows lots on "Rev C H Ball"

He was in Scotsdale from 1922 to 1926 - then to Yarrum
He was at Yarrum until 1932 - called to Daylesford
moved to Bendigo in the late 1930s
from Bendigo to Frankston in 1943
in 1947 Frankstown saw him off to Balmain.  He and "Mrs Ball" were heading there to be near their only daughter.
http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/73595200
1950 - still in Balmain - visiting brother in law and sister "Mr and Mrs T S Lee, Longford" - hopefully lets you confirm this is the right man.

Here is a marriage report + photo from 1946 of his daughter and her husband:

(note: not clear if they are still living, I found a possible death for the husband but not 100% sure I have the right man)

Marriage
BALL Charles Henry
PITT Agnes Phoebe
2 Jul 1919
St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Launceston  Reg#1014

Births on my Tasmanian resource only extend to 1919.

I think this is possibly his death.  A man with same name died in 1972 is interred at Eastern Suburbs Cemetery could not be your man.  Age on burial record not a match and parents' names incorrect.

32540/1964    
BALL    Charles Henry
Parents Unknown
District Burwood.
