Do you know anyone that would give a blind man a job in sydney AUSTRALIA?

Hi my fiance is tottaly blind, and is looking for work in Sydney. preferably Parramatta/ western suburbs of sydney.
He has over 3 months of telemarketing/ sales experiance, he isnt very happy in the job he is in, he isn't getting many hours and they treat im wrongly.

please help him, its so hard for a blind person to get work, he doesn't care what the job is. aslong as a guide dog is safe to work along side him, thats all that matters to him.



Do you know anyone in Sydney areas that would hire a blind man who is 21 years old and very talented.
if so please email me on:

Don't you agree?

I've read various stuff about people being againest others who want to breed their dogs purebred or wanting to do a mix. Personally I like dogs of various breeds. Designer dogs such as: Labradoodles which originated in Australia around the 70s and/or 80s where bred for blind people with allergies. Since the labrodor has excellent guide dog abilites and the poodle has hypo-allergic coat.

I hate reading stuff like: "Don't breed your dog" adopt one from a shelter" or this one "don't buy a purebred, get one from a shelter, there's too many pets in need of homes already!"

I'm totally aware of that and I feel sorry for them. It is a good idea to have your dog fixed for various reasons. But nonetheless I get tired of reading stuff like this.

Not everyone can afford to buy a purebred dog or possibly a designer. Also I imagine most people don't want a shelter dog either since they might be: seniors, have special needs or have a mental disorder of some sort. Don't you agree?
I mean seriously, a dog is a dog regardless of being a purbred or mixed.
I once had a Beagle mix (1993-2004) she was a good dog but she did have a 'problem' we got her from a rescue but we think she was abused before we got her cause she was afriad of people, especially men. I currently live a pug and beagle. Both are purebreds and the best of friends.


No I don't agree. The vast majority of people getting dogs do not have special needs. They just want one they thought was "cute" or something. Of course people who have special needs should get a dog that meets those needs, but no one NEEDS a purebred for a pet.


Guide Dogs Australia : Support scent | images | scaryideas.com

Information How do you show support for someone who can't see? Clemenger BBDO Melbourne has answered this question by turning traditional charity marketing on its head and creating a fragrance. When it came to developing an innovative way to generate support for the blind and vision impaired, the creative team considered it vital that the solution didn’t inadvertently exclude them. Anything that appealed to people’s sight, such as a ribbon or wristband, would only add to the problem. Instead they decided to create something that appealed to another sense entirely – smell. “Most people don’t realise that one of the greatest struggles the blind and vision-impaired face as a result of...
