Assistance Dogs Australia

At Assistance Dogs Australia, we understand the important bond between humans and dogs.

 

We train Assistance Dogs to perform a range of tasks for people living with disabilities, ensuring that an Assistance Dog is not only man’s best friend, but man’s most helpful friend too.

 

Every Assistance Dog undergoes tailored training to meet the individual needs of their new owner. We support people living with physical disabilities, autism, post-traumatic stress and dementia, as well as schools and care facilities.

 

It can take up to two years and costs around $40,000 to train each dog. Assistance Dogs are placed completely free of charge with their new owner, providing life-changing support for up to 10 years.

 

Imagine what it would be like to lose the use of your hands. How challenging and isolating would your life become?

 

Or not be able to leave the house because of anxiety, depression or fear?

 

Imagine being the parent of a child with non-verbal communication skills, or a child who struggles with social interactions?

 

This is the reality for thousands of Australians every year. But with the help of an Assistance Dog, our clients can increase their mobility, confidence and self-esteem, and gain a lifetime of support.

 

As a registered charity, accredited by Assistance Dogs International, we’re committed to changing the lives of Australians, one dog at a time. We’ve already placed over 190 Assistance Dogs free of charge and with your generous help and support we’ll continue this very im-paw-tant work.

 

There are many ways you can support us, including....

  • Make a direct, fully tax deductible, donation to us by clicking 'Donate Now'. You will receive a tax receipt immediately + knowledge that your donation is putting one of our worthy recipients one step closer to receiving their assistance dog.
  • Make a regular donation to Assistance Dogs Australia. Your donations can be weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly and can be set up with peace of mind and ease.
  • Start your own fundraising page for Assistance Dogs Australia. You may decide to participate in an activity (fun run, ride, walk!), donate your birthday to us (in lieu of gifts) or fundraise on behalf of someone you know that requires an assistance dog.
