About

Guide Dogs Australia is the national peak body dedicated to empowering Australians with low vision or blindness by providing essential services, including the breeding and training of Guide Dogs, assistive technology, and rehabilitation programs.

Giving Philosophy

Their philosophy is centered on empowering individuals with low vision or blindness to achieve independence, mobility, and community participation. Funding decisions, whether for internal program development, direct client support, or specific research, are driven by their core mission to enhance the quality of life and safety for their clients.
