Why make a referral

In Australia today there are over 450,000 people with low vision or blindness. They all have different needs, goals and lives. But there’s one thing that can support every person with low vision or blindness. That thing is a referral to Guide Dogs Victoria. We provide individually tailored support, training and skills, linked to real personal goals. With expert Orientation and Mobility Practitioners, Occupational Therapists and Orthoptic Low Vision Services, we specialise in support for all types of vision loss at no charge to clients*, including vision affected by brain injury.

*Client services funded through donations. Guide Dogs Victoria is an approved provider for TAC, WorkCover, Veteran’s Affairs, NDIS and the Commonwealth Home Support Package.

How we can help

  • Kids to meet new friends and enjoy the local playground.
  • Teenagers  to travel confidently on the way to their first job.
  • Parents to take kids to school or look after a family.
  • Seniors to live comfortably and independently.
  • People of all ages and life stages to improve or adapt daily living skills.
