Our northern Dog Services volunteers caught up for their monthly group training session recently at Princes Square in Launceston.
A lovely sunny day and while the dogs got used to settling and being calm around each other, the humans learnt about supporting dogs at different ages and the key focus points for each development phase.
Volunteering with Guide Dogs Tasmania is a great way to make connections and learn about dog behaviour, while having a wonderful four-legged friend alongside you.
If you are interested in being one of our amazing volunteers, please reach out via our website, or email [email protected].

We’re excited to be joining the Tasmanian Fashion Festival in Nipaluna/Hobart this weekend – and we’d love to see you there!

🧥 Saturday 10 October | 1pm | PW1
Pull on your favourite puffer jacket and join us for the Tassie Tuxedo World Record Attempt. That’s right – all you need to take part is a puffer! We’ll be joining the fun and cheering on the attempt to make Tassie history.

🛍️ Sunday 11 October | 10am–4pm | PW1
Come and visit the Guide Dogs Tasmania stall and do a little shopping for a good cause. We’ll have a great range of Guide Dogs clothing and merchandise available, including new colours, crew neck jumpers and bandanas for your four-legged friends.

It’s the perfect chance to get a head start on Christmas shopping, treat yourself or pick up a bandana for your pup – all while supporting Guide Dogs Tasmania. 💙🐾

We’re also thrilled to be part of the Tasmanian Fashion Festival journey this year ahead of an even bigger role in **2027, when Guide Dogs Tasmania will be the Festival’s Charity Partner.

💚 Love Your Eyes today on World Sight Day!

This World Sight Day, we’re celebrating the importance of eye health and a community where everyone can participate fully.

Everyone deserves access to eye care, information and support. For people who are blind or have low vision, access to the right services can support independence, confidence and connection at every stage of life.

At VisAbility and Guide Dogs, we work alongside people to build skills, navigate their communities and pursue the things that matter to them.

Today, we encourage you to prioritise your eye health and help create more inclusive spaces — at work, at school and in everyday life.

Together, we can make eye health and accessibility everyone’s business.

⛰️🐕‍🦺 Take on the mountain for Guide Dogs Tasmania!

Looking for your next challenge? Point to Pinnacle returns to Hobart on Sunday 15 November – and we'd love you to take on the challenge while raising funds for Guide Dogs Tasmania.

Known as the World's Toughest Road Half Marathon, the 21.1km Point to Pinnacle takes participants from Wrest Point to Kunanyi/Mount Wellington. There's also the 10km Point to Pub for those looking for a shorter challenge.

Even better, participants can choose to fundraise for a charity through the event's Grassrootz fundraising platform.

💛 Choose **Guide Dogs Tasmania** and ask your friends, family and colleagues to get behind your challenge.

Every dollar you raise can help support our work with Tasmanians living with low or no vision – helping people build greater independence, confidence and connection.

🏃 Run it.
🚶 Walk it.
💛 Fundraise for Guide Dogs Tasmania.

Ready to take on the mountain?

You can sign up here and raise funds for Guide Dogs Tasmania this November! https://pointtopinnacle2026.grassrootz.com/guidedogstas

A big thank you to Tasmania Drilling Services for their wonderful support of Guide Dog in training, Kira! 🦮💛

Kira recently paid a special visit to the Tasmanian Drilling workshop to catch up with the team who are generously supporting her journey.

The support of local businesses like Tasmanian Drilling helps our puppies receive the training, care and guidance they need as they work towards a future of changing lives for Tasmanians living with low or no vision.

We’re incredibly grateful to have the Tasmanian Drilling team behind Kira and Guide Dogs Tasmania. Thank you for helping us make a difference🐾

And judging by the photos, Kira was pretty happy with the visit too!

If you or your organisation would like to help Guide and Assistance Dogs in training like Kira please reach out to our team via the following link https://bit.ly/4dQzh4E

The confidence to step outside. The freedom to visit a friend. The opportunity to feel part of your community. 💚

This Mental Health Week, we’re reflecting on the connection between independence, inclusion and wellbeing.

For someone living with blindness or low vision, a Guide Dog partnership can help open up opportunities to get out and about, enjoy everyday activities and connect with others.

Behind every partnership is a community of puppy raisers, volunteers, supporters and staff helping make those opportunities possible.

Everyone deserves to feel connected and supported. This week, reach out to someone, make time for a conversation and listen with care.

Today marks the start of Blindness Awareness Month. 👁️💙

Throughout the month, we’re joining communities around the world in raising awareness and understanding of blindness and low vision – and the importance of creating a society that is accessible, inclusive and welcoming to everyone.

For people who are blind or have low vision, accessibility can make an enormous difference to independence and participation in everyday life. From accessible technology and information to inclusive workplaces, public spaces and services, small changes can help remove barriers and create greater opportunity.

At Guide Dogs and VisAbility, we see every day what people who are blind or have low vision can achieve when they have access to the right services, supports and opportunities.

Follow along throughout Blindness Awareness Month and help us spread the word. 💙
