At Guide Dogs Victoria, we provide vital support for Victorians with low vision or blindness. We have done since 1957. Since then, our services have grown far beyond just the dogs themselves to include a wide range of community initiatives, and training and education programs.
We work to ensure people with low vision or blindness are active and involved members of the community. We do this by teaching practical skills to help children and adults reach their personal potential: regardless of when or how they became affected by low vision or blindness
We are proud to have been named Reader’s Digest Most Trusted Charity for seven years running, in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2020
Guide Dogs Victoria work to ensure people with low vision or blindness are active and involved members of the community.
It cost $50,000 to breed, raise, train an adorable puppy to become a suitable Guide Dog. We rely on the generosity of people like you, to ensure we can provide these vital services, so that children and adults can live independently.
My name is Lucy, I’m 20 years old and was born with a genetic disorder affecting my eyes. From a young age, my life changed for the better, thanks to people like you who support the vital work of Guide Dogs. Guide Dogs helped me redefine what it is to be a person with low vision and challenge how people think about the disabled community. I want to share this story with you today.
I was born with Oculocutaneous Albinism (OCA), a group of genetic disorders characterised by a reduced or complete lack of melanin pigment in the hair, skin and eyes. My eyes are very sensitive to light because they produce no melanin. I first came to Guide Dogs when I was around eight years old to participate in a children’s mobility camp. I was not yet using any mobility aids. A year later, I was playing around with some friends at a family BBQ when I lost my footing and fell. At that moment, my family knew it was time to find out what options were available to help me identify obstacles. Guide Dogs provided me with a white cane and taught me the necessary skills to enhance my mobility. Although it served me well for many years, using a cane required a lot of concentration, and I would come home physically and mentally exhausted. When I began travelling into the city for university each day, it was clear I needed to find another way to enhance my independence. I started the conversation with my family about the next steps. After some initial consultations and training, I got the call I had been waiting for. I had been matched with Guide Dog, Dottie, who has transformed my life since that day! With Dottie in my life, I am no longer exhausted after a long day at university. I have more energy to focus on my studies and free time to spend with family and friends. My family rest easy knowing that I can navigate the busy city environment safely with Dottie by my side. I am now part of the Guide Dogs family, and they have been there to support me every step of the way. I hope that others like me continue to have this opportunity in the future.
