Seeing Eye Dogs

@1Godbotherer Hi there, we are in fact called Seeing Eye Dogs as an organisation. Guide Dogs is a separate organisation to us, but we both train assistance animals to assist people who are blind or have low vision.

@ALeighMP @visionaustralia Stop speaking AMERICAN. They're not "seeing eye dogs", we call them GUIDE DOGS in Australia. Calling them "seeing eye dogs" is about as irritating as hearing people say 'I petted a dog today'... It's not "pet' it's PAT a dog. A dog is a pet, you pat a pet dog with your hands.

A highlight of today: meeting one of Vision Australia's seeing eye dogs in training at their 'Puppies in Parliament' event @visionaustralia #auspol

Vision Australia has been made aware Disability Support Pension recipients may have recently received correspondence from Centrelink regarding employment income details. [1/3]

If you have any questions about this, we're here to help! Shoot us an email at info@visionaustralia.org or call us on 1800 422 007 and our team will be able to answer any query you have. [3/3]

There’s also some special rules you should know about how to make sure you don’t distract a Seeing Eye Dog from their important work: sed.visionaustralia.org/seeing-eye-dog… [2/3]

Seeing Eye Dogs and their handlers are part of the community right across Australia. If you encounter a Seeing Eye Dog and handler, you should approach them in a calm and respectful manner, just like you would anyone else. (CONT.) [1/3]

Young pups need homes until they are 12 months old, at which time they enter formal Seeing Eye Dogs training. Seeing Eye Dogs carefully plans its litters of puppies each year, but 2022 has been a record breeding year. Source: @VASeeingEyeDogs ausdis.au/post/45-seeing…

@CHWaterVic @visionaustralia Thanks so much for the support!
