Guide Dogs Queensland

In 2010, Guide Dogs Queensland celebrates being 50 years young.
Established in May 1960, Guide Dogs Queensland is today proud to be the state’s principal not-for-profit association providing training and support to Queenslanders who are blind or have low vision.
Although best known for our Guide Dogs, GDQ’s programs have grown to become highly specialised. They include:
• Guide Dogs;
• White Cane training and Electronic Travel Aids;
• Low vision clinics;
• Counselling ;
• Special education programs for children;
• Community education and consultancy.
Every day we help thousands of Queenslanders of all ages overcome the isolation of sight loss. Our programs restore one’s dignity, confidence, independence, mobility and ultimately – freedom.
It costs more than $30,000 to breed, train and place each Guide Dog. We receive no government funding for our Guide Dogs and less than seven per cent in government funding for some fee-for-service orientation and mobility training.
Thanks to community support all services, including Guide Dogs, are provided free of charge.
With help from you, an ‘Everyday Hero’, Queenslanders who are blind or have low vision can look forward to our support and seeing the world through the eyes of a Guide Dog.
