Guide Dogs Queensland

Since 1960, Guide Dogs Queensland has been providing vital support to help people who are blind or have low vision experience the freedom and independence we all deserve. A leader in the provision of Guide Dogs and mobility services, we assist people who have low or no vision to become active members of their communities by teaching a range of practical skills that many of us with sight take for granted. While we're best known for our iconic Guide Dogs, we're far more than just dogs. Since we were established, our services have grown greatly and expanded to a holistic offering of Orientation and Mobility Training, Counselling, Occupational Therapy, Programs for Children and Young People and more. All programs are tailored to every individual we work with and are specifically designed to help each person achieve their goals. Thanks to the ongoing support of the community, Queenslanders of all ages who are blind and vision impaired can reach their potential and lead independent and meaningful lives.
