governor general quentin bryceOur Patron, Her Excellency The Governer General of Australia, Ms Quentin Bryce AC

Her Excellency The Govenor General of Australia, Ms Quentin Bryce AC, has shown her support for Assistance Dogs Australia and taken on the role as our Patron. Her Excellency also has taken the time to get to know her namesake pups ‘Quentin’ and ‘Bryce’.

Ms Bryce said, “The whole idea of assistance dogs and the remarkable work they do every day to assist people with disabilities, people with special needs, it’s such an inspiring story.”

Assistance Dogs Australia is very excited by this new patronage and are viewing it as a great opportunity to tell the Australian public about the new dogs on the block.  Ms Bryce’s enthusiasm for the charity and her new protégés was certainly evident in the many puppy cuddles that were lapped up during that she has since received.

 

Ambassadors & Patrons

I have been involved with the organisation for over five years, as an Ambassador. To see the benefits these Assistance Dogs provide to members of our community who have a physical disability is just unbelievable. The most rewarding outcome is the increased independence that each individual gains which of course contributes significantly to a more independent and enjoyable lifestyle.

I hope you enjoy viewing the information on the Assistance Dogs Website and if you can become involved in any way with this worthy cause, I would encourage you to please contact The Assistance Dogs Australia office.
