Helping people with low vision and blindness live with greater confidence, independence and choice.
Guide Dogs Queensland supports people who are blind or have low vision to achieve their goals, build confidence and live the life they choose.
Our services go far beyond Guide Dogs. From learning to travel safely and independently, to finding the right technology, building everyday living skills or accessing emotional support, our specialist team can provide personalised support at every stage of your vision journey.
No two people experience vision loss in the same way.
That’s why we work alongside you to understand what matters most and provide support tailored to your individual needs, lifestyle and goals. Whether you have recently experienced a change in vision or have lived with low vision for many years, we’re here to help.
Learn practical skills and strategies to move safely and confidently at home, at work and throughout your community.

Adjusting to changes in vision can affect many areas of life.

Guide Dogs Queensland is also developing a Psychological Assistance Dog service for people living with a formal PTSD diagnosis.
