Presentations Our public education program provides information and complimentary public speakers to all sectors of the community throughout New South Wales and ACT, Australia.
Guide dog speakers Our speakers visit schools and community groups with their guide dogs.
Audiences get an insight into the speaker's personal experience of living with vision impairment, what it is like to have a guide dog, what the guide dog can and can't do, and the use of other senses. If you belong to a club, seniors group, church or community group, we will offer combined talks with a Guide Dog Speaker and a Community Liaison Officer.

This is followed by the personal experiences of someone who has a guide dog.
