OUR SERVICES
At Guide Dogs Australia, we believe that vision loss will not and should not limit a person’s independence. We provide assistance to anyone with vision loss, no matter what age or level of vision, and we work to ensure that people with low vision or blindness are active and involved members of the community.
Guide Dogs Australia member organisations provide a wide range of services that help people with vision loss to enhance their mobility and independence, and build their confidence for further education, employment and social participation. All our services are provided at no cost to our clients.
To request for our services please contact Guide Dogs in your state, or call 1800 484 333.
