MEET OUR TEAM

As the organisation grows, so does our team.

With the increasing demands for our Assistance Dog services each year – both Hearing Assistance Dogs and Medical Alert Dogs – our team continues to grow in order to manage and maintain the quality of service delivery.

Our team is a passionate group; always focused on improving the organisation, as well as the lives of people who are deaf or hard of hearing and those living with type 1 diabetes.
