Your support gives independence back

Losing her vision overnight meant Sue’s world changed in an instant. The sudden loss of her ability to drive left her without freedom, confidence, and the independence she had always known.

Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, Sue was able to access a Guide Dog. After months on the waitlist, she was matched with Vegas — a partnership she describes as “meant to be.” With personalised training and the guidance of our expert team, Sue and Vegas built the skills and trust they needed to take on the world together.

“With Vegas by my side, I know I can do it all. And best still, I can do it independently. I’ve really found my freedom again.” – Sue

Now, Sue’s life looks completely different. With Vegas, she’s hopping on trains to Brisbane, walking beaches and bush trails, and even skydiving to celebrate her 70th birthday. Your support helped Sue rediscover her freedom, confidence, and zest for life, proof of the life-changing impact every Guide Dogs Golden Paws Lottery ticket makes possible.

Together, these services empower people with low vision or blindness to build confidence, independence and connection. It costs more than $50,000 to breed, raise and train a single Guide Dog and your support makes that possible.

In the past 12 months, you’ve helped make this happen.
