Seeing Eye Dogs Australia and Vision Australia will formally merge!

Seeing Eye Dogs Australia Logo.

The merge brings more excitement and activity within the blindness and low vision sector and for Vision Australia.

It enables a stronger outcome for clients with the aim of reducing waiting times and providing more dogs for those seeking a seeing eye dog and will ensure clients and potential clients, Australia wide, continue to be offered the widest possible choice when determining the services they will access.



Help Rafe huff and puff and blow the house down

Rafe uses his imagination to picture the big bad wolf.

Picturing the childhood stories we all know and love isn’t so simple for three-year-old Rafe, who is legally blind. That’s why Vision Australia hand-makes kits containing braille and audio storybooks along with toys and tactile objects that bring these magical stories to life.
