Venue Hire and Experiences - Guide Dogs Victoria

About our spaces

Something for everyone.

For the past seven years, Guide Dogs Victoria has been transforming our 60-year-old Campus into a world-class sensory Campus for people with low vision and blindness. We aim to foster community connections and raise awareness, ultimately increasing outcomes and independence for those with vision loss.

The redevelopment increases the overall campus building footprint from 3200 square metres to 9300 square metres.

Located within 20 minutes of the Melbourne CBD, the Guide Dogs Victoria Campus is host to residential accommodation, venue meeting spaces, staff offices, a puppy nursery, dog training kennels and expansive open grounds.

We welcome you to come and experience our Guide Dogs Victoria Kew Campus and our offerings. Book either a space for a half or full day, or alternatively book one of our packages dependent on your needs.

The Betty Amsden Education Centre.

We warmly invite you to book the Betty Amsden Education Centre for your next event, educational workshop or conference and experience a venue enriched with the spirit of community.

Betty Amsden OAM was a philanthropist and steadfast supporter of Guide Dogs Victoria who made a lasting impact on our organisation. Her unwavering commitment and selfless work towards improving the lives of people with low vision or blindness leaves a notable mark on our community.

In recognition of her remarkable contributions, we are deeply honoured to dedicate this space to Betty Amsden OAM.
