About Us
At Seeing Eye Dogs Australia, dogs are more than just a job – they are our life.
As a division of Vision Australia, Seeing Eye Dogs strives to develop and maintain innovative, high-quality dog guide services to enhance the mobility and independence of people who are blind or have low vision.
