Help us to support people who are blind or have low vision to be able to follow their dreams by donating now to Vision Australia.

Vision Australia is the nation’s leading blindness organisation assisting tens of thousands of people who are blind or have low vision to be able to live the lives they choose.

According to Vision Australia’s CEO Mr Gerard Menses, there are more than 300,000 Australians who are blind or have low vision and that figure is set to double by 2020. 

“This growing statistic means that Vision Australia, now more than ever, relies on the generous support of people like Lorin and Dean, to raise awareness and generate funds so that we can provide essential services for people who are blind or have low vision,” said Mr Menses.

Vision

Vision Australia is a living partnership between people who are blind, sighted or have low vision. We are united by our passion that in the future people who are blind or have low vision will have access to and fully participate in every part of life they choose.

Mission 

Vision Australia will achieve this through creating a community partnership of knowledge, skills and expertise to enrich the participation in life of people who are blind or have low vision and their families. We will ensure that the community recognises their capabilities and contributions.

About us

Combining the resources of several leading blindness organisations, Vision Australia provides a range of vital services from centres throughout New South Wales, the ACT, Queensland, the Northern Territory, Victoria and Tasmania.

In addition, our Information Library Service sends out books, coursework, magazines and other publications in braille and audio formats nationally.

With clients ranging from infants to the very elderly, we address the challenges presented over the course of a lifetime.

As the nation’s largest provider of blindness and low vision services, we are in a strong position to work closely with Government and business to break down barriers for our community, bringing issues relating to blindness or low vision, access and equity to wider public attention.

We are guided by the judgment and needs of clients, staff, volunteers and supporters alike and consult and communicate with our community via surveys, focus groups and newsletters.

As frightening as the future may seem to someone who has been told they are losing their sight, with the support of Vision Australia as well as family and friends, people positively adjust and can continue to participate in every part of life they choose.
