Fundraising and volunteering for Guide Dogs

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:

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. Find out more information on fundraising events
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. Find out more information on puppy raising
