Guide Dogs Victoria would like to acknowledge some of our major corporate supporters for their ongoing commitment to assisting Victorians who are blind or vision impaired.

Corporate Sponsors

Guide Dogs Victoria has been in partnership with Deloitte for four years. Over that time Deloitte have fully sponsored several Guide Dogs and have contributed much in the way of financial support, volunteering and pro-bono services. Deloitte provides a broad range of audit, tax, consulting and financial advisory services to public and private clients.

The PricewaterhouseCoopers Foundation (PwC) has provided full sponsorship for three Guide Dogs in Victoria, with funds raised through PwC's workplace giving and company matching. In addition to this, the professional services firm participates in the Workplace Giving Program and corporate volunteering.

Guide Dogs Victoria Collection Dogs have become a familiar feature in over 100 stores across Victoria. Each year a growing number of Coles stores nationally are providing space for our iconic Collection Dogs to allow shoppers and their children to donate to Guide Dog training programs.
