Lend a hand at Seeing Eye Dogs as a volunteer

There are plenty of opportunities to make a difference by volunteering on-site at our kennel facility in Kensington, Victoria. From office administration to supporting our dog care team, if you would like to lend a hand, we would love to hear from you.
