Welcome to Guide Dogs Victoria
For over 50 years Guide Dogs Victoria has been providing the very special form of mobility and companionship that a Guide Dog brings. Although not as well known, through our Centre for Mobility Assessment & Training we also provide a wide range of other mobility services for people who are blind or vision impaired, helping them to achieve their potential for independence over their lifetime.
GDV's flexible approach to training enables clients from five to 95 years to walk out the door without fear of injury. Through either domiciliary or residential training, our skilled professional staff help them achieve their own personal goals - to live an active life in the community, to attend school and university if that is their dream and pursue their chosen professions. Go to Our Services for details. We assist Victorians living in metropolitan and regional areas - and all our services, including Guide Dogs, are provided completely free of charge.
GDV receives minimal government funding and relies on the support of the general public. You can help by making a tax deductible donation, remembering Guide Dogs Victoria in your Will, or supporting our special events and other fundraising initiatives.
Thank you.

Guide Dogs Victoria (GDV) receives no government funding for the breeding, training and provision of Guide Dogs.
The limited funds, (approx 7% of our total operational needs), that GDV receives from Government, contribute towards meeting some of the costs incurred by us in providing ongoing support, assessment, training and therapy, direct to our clients, across all GDV programs and services.
