Guide Dogs Queensland

Key Details

Company Details

Established in 1960, Guide Dogs Queensland helps to provide Queenslanders who are blind or vision impaired with freedom, mobility and independence through our wide range of orientation and mobility services.

With less than ten per cent Government funding, we rely on the generosity of individuals, puppy sponsors, corporate support and people who leave a bequest in their Will to fund our vital work.

Guide Dogs Queensland is the only service provider in Queensland that offers this complete range of rehabilitation services, and we have seven regional offices in Cairns, Townsville, Rockhampton, Bundaberg, Toowoomba and on the Gold and Sunshine Coasts.

We aim to keep people independent and mobile at home, in the community and at work and empower them to live full and active lives.
