Guide Dogs Victoria has launched in Ballarat!

Guide Dogs Victoria has opened a brand new office in Ballarat, located centrally in Dawson Street South.

The office is now home to two Guide Dogs Victoria staff – Paula Foote and Jo Boyko. Paula is a Guide Dog Trainer, and is currently training four potential Guide Dogs.  Jo is an O&M Instructor and is responsible for servicing clients from both the Childrens Mobility Service and Adults Mobility Service. 

By running a regional office in Ballarat, Guide Dogs Victoria plans to provide additional services to country Victoria and to increase public awareness of Blindness and Low Vision through public interaction and education.  The convenience of a central location means that staff are able to access other regional towns and areas more efficiently and in return, they can be a more accessible to clients.  The new office is also a point of call for other Instructors and staff who take part in working visits within the area.

Reception is open from 9am –5pm to assist with any messages or queries that may come through when the office is unattended.
