Guide Dogs Queensland is a leading provider of services to Queenslanders living with low vision or blindness. Voted one of Australia’s most trusted charities, and with thanks to the ongoing support of the community, we help people with low vision or blindness reach their goals, helping them lead an independent life of their choosing. Our services are all tailored to ensure everyone can fulfil their potential to live a life of independence, participation, inclusion and wellbeing.

At Guide Dogs, we do more than train and provide guide dogs. We support people throughout their entire journey with vision loss - helping them learn new skills, regain confidence, and imagine new possibilities. Whether it's working, travelling, living independently, or reconnecting socially, we're there for our clients every step of the way.

Occupational Therapy plays a critical role in our mission, and Guide Dogs is truly an inspiring place to work. Our dedicated and skilled allied health team strives to make a difference in every interaction, and we share in the pride of our clients’ achievements.
