Help develop Guide Dogs Victoria’s new Regional Strategy
Guide Dogs Victoria has committed to the development of a Regional Strategy to support better outcomes for people with blindness or low vision living in regional Victoria.
Your input will ensure the future of our services is shaped by a wide variety of views and experiences.
How can you participate?
Have your say as someone with low vision or blindness, a supporter, community member, or community health organisation in regional Victoria. We want to hear from everyone – you do not need to be a current Client, volunteer, referrer or partner of Guide Dogs to participate.
We have developed a survey to capture insights from different groups. This will help us to better understand experiences from people with low vision or blindness living regionally, and community perspectives – and will be used to inform the development of the Regional Strategy.
We encourage you to share your thoughts by completing the survey here.
Plus you can go into the draw to win one of 10 Coles Group and Myer gift cards worth $100*!
If you would prefer to complete the survey over the phone, please call our Customer Service Team on 1800 804 805.
Share ideas and have your say about what matters to you.
