Psychologist

Guide Dogs Queensland is a leading provider of services to Queenslanders living with low vision or blindness. Voted one of Australia's most trusted charities, and with thanks to the ongoing support of the community, we help people with low vision or blindness reach their goals, helping them lead an independent life of their choosing. Our services are all tailored to ensure everyone can fulfil their potential to live a life of independence, participation, inclusion and wellbeing.

Here at Guide Dogs, we do more than train and provide guide dogs. We support people right through their journey with vision loss. We help them to learn new skills, regain confidence and imagine new possibilities. So, whether it's working, travelling, living independently, or re-connecting socially, we're there for our clients.

Psychology is critical to our mission. Clients may approach us at different juncture of their journey with vision loss. They may have just received their diagnosis or when they are coming to terms with sight loss and adjusting to living with low vision or blindness. During these moments, our psychology service is a crucial and life-changing support. Our clients value it immensely and we do too.

Guide Dogs is an inspiring place to work. We have an awesome team of dedicated and skilled allied health professionals who strive to make a difference in every conversation and interaction. And, we experience the delight of walking with our clients and sharing pride in their achievements.
