Guide Dogs Victoria

At Guide Dogs we are more than dogs. We provide vital support across a range of services for Victorians with low vision or blindness. We work to ensure people with low vision or blindness are active and involved members of the community by teaching practical skills to help children and adults reach their personal potential: regardless of when or how they became affected by low vision or blindness.

We do this by offering personalised training and support programs to make Client’s lives more independent. The full list of services is available online and include:

• Assistive Technology Support
• Orthoptic Low Vision Services
• Children’s Mobility Services
• Early Childhood Services
• Adult Mobility Services
• Acquired Brain Injury Services
• Guide Dog Mobility
• Occupational Therapy
• Peer Support including an online community hub, CatchUp.

Guide Dogs services are provided at no direct cost to Clients on an ongoing basis. Services can be covered through Government funding, or through generous philanthropic funding. Whatever the avenue, we ensure anyone with low vision or blindness has the support they need.

Getting started with Guide Dogs is as simple as submitting an enquiry online. Even if it’s just to learn more, don’t hesitate to start the conversation as an individual or healthcare or service provider.
