Guide Dogs volunteers throughout Australia continue to provide vital assistance for our services. Guide Dogs volunteers throughout Australia continue to provide vital assistance for our services.

In 1952, the first Australian Guide Dogs Centre was opened in Perth with the invaluable support of volunteers. Many years later, Guide Dogs volunteers throughout Australia continue to provide vital assistance for our services. As a Guide Dogs volunteer, you have the opportunity to discover new skills, experiences and a real sense of pride, by improving the lives of people with vision impairment in your community. You can:

  • Join a Guide Dogs support group. Make a difference - and new friends - by raising funds and awareness through different events and activities.
  • Raise a puppy. Welcome a puppy into your home and you'll raise an invaluable companion to people with special needs, either as a Guide Dog or Pets As Therapy dog.
  • Organise a fundraising event. From selling lemonade to climbing Mount Kosciusko, there's an event for everyone. It's an ideal incentive to achieve your lifelong goals while raising money for Guide Dogs.
  • Get your creative juices flowing. Create new fundraising ideas such as making dolls for market stalls, assisting at our charity card shop or planting trees at our Guide Dogs Centre.
