Leave a legacy of kindness for generations to come

Leaving a gift in your Will to Assistance Dogs Australia is a unique and beautiful way to continue making a difference beyond your lifetime. You will be helping transform the lives of people in need for generations to come. It’s a wonderful legacy!

How will you remember Assistance Dogs Australia?

There are three easy ways you can include Assistance Dogs Australia in your Will:

  • The simplest is by way of a residual gift. After providing for your loved ones, you can nominate to leave part or all of what is left of your estate (the residue) to Assistance Dogs Australia
  • Another easy way is by leaving a percentage or fraction of your estate to Assistance Dogs Australia
  • Or you may prefer to leave a specific gift – a specific sum of money, real estate, shares or such other gift

Please be sure to discuss these options with a solicitor. They’ll ensure that your loved ones and the causes you hold dear benefit from your Will exactly as you would wish.

The appropriate wording to include in your Will is:

“I GIVE AND BEQUEATH to ‘Assistance Dogs Australia Limited’ my Estate (or_% of my Estate, or “the sum of $ …………. “) for its general purposes and I DECLARE that the receipt of the secretary or other proper officer for the time being of Assistance Dogs Australia Limited shall be a full discharge for my trustees for the bequest.”

“I’m very proud to support Assistance Dogs Australia. Knowing just how valuable Assistance Dogs are in giving a person the confidence to go outside and live their best life, I have also included a gift to Assistance Dogs Australia in my Will.

“I was blown away to see and hear from people of all ages who have been helped by Assistance Dogs Australia. I now contribute to Assistance Dogs Australia as much as I can, and to ensure that their wonderful work continues, I have left them a substantial bequest in my Will. I know that my bequest will transform the lives of some Australians living with a disability.”

It costs over $60,000 to train and place an Assistance Dog.
