When someone loses their sight, the need for support keeps changing as life does - at home, at school, at work, and out in the community.
Regular giving helps fund practical, personalised support for Australians at every stage of sight loss, helping people hold on to their independence, confidence and connection to the life they love.
By becoming a Vision Guide, you can help make that support possible.

Help people build the skills and confidence to navigate life with sight loss.
- 60 Australians start to lose their sight every day.

“Vision Australia were a wonderful backup for me. If I had a question or needed anything for Mum, they were always able to help.”
What people say about Vision Guides
When Wendy’s mum, Phyl, lost her sight to macular degeneration, one of the things she missed most was reading. Through Vision Australia’s library, Phyl was able to continue enjoying her love of literature with audiobooks.
As Phyl’s needs changed over time, Vision Australia continued to support both Phyl and Wendy with practical advice, equipment and guidance.
Experiencing the difference this support made inspired Wendy to give regularly to Vision Australia.
“I realised these wonderful services needed financial support, so I decided to make a regular donation to help them continue the wonderful work they do.”
By becoming a Vision Guide, you can help ensure losing sight doesn’t mean losing what you love.
