Help us to improve the lives of Queenslanders with low vision and blindness
We rely on the support of people like you to make a difference to people with low or no vision. Every contribution is vital to help these Queenslanders access the services they need to simply do the ordinary things many of us take for granted.
With your help, promising puppies can become life-changing Guide Dogs. People who are blind or vision impaired can go to work every day, visit the shops on their own and even cook dinner for their family. They can pick the kids up from school, have the chance to receive further education and navigate busy areas without fear.
They can do all of those things because of you. And that’s extraordinary.
Ways you can be involved
A few Queenslanders we’ve been able to help
Read Tania and Kyle’s StoryMy instructor teaches me to do all kinds of things, like catch public transport and get around the shops with my friends. We talk about the goals I’ve set for myself and then focus on trying to achieve them.
Read The Impact of our PalsHaving my Guide Dog ‘Tatum’ is almost the same as having the freedom of being able to see. He’s a great navigator.
Read Michael’s Story“My Guide Dog ‘Libby’ makes difficult tasks so much easier. One of our most special moments together was when she helped me get around the Mater Hospital on my own while my wife had our baby.”

The difference our community makes every year
We rely on the ongoing generosity of the community to provide majority of the funding needed to support Queenslanders living with low or no vision every year. Over the past 12 months, our supporters have helped us to achieve some amazing things:
Guide Dogs placed with Queenslanders in need
Visits to regional areas to provide support
Programs delivered to people with low or no vision
Volunteers shared their time and skills
Free clinics and educational expos hosted
Cadetships offered to build our future capacity
We receive less than 10% government funding, which is why your support is so important. It is only with your help that Queenslanders in need can continue accessing vital programs and receiving Guide Dogs to live full and active lives.
