🎄 Christmas Closure Notice 🎄

After an incredibly busy year, the mindDog team will be taking a much-needed break to rest and recharge over the festive season.

Our office will be closed from Monday, 8 December 2025 and we’ll reopen on Monday, 12 January 2026 ready to jump into another exciting year supporting our mindDog teams.

If you experience access issues while we’re closed, our Access Denied Mediator will still be available to assist. You can find out more about access issues and how to get help here.

We wish all our clients, trainers, assessors, and supporters a safe and happy holiday season 🎁🐾

FINDING A DOG

mindDogs are unlike traditional assistance dogs that the public may have experienced before. We are proud to be able to certify many breeds of dogs as psychiatric assistance dogs.

APPLY

Applying for an assistance dog is not something that should be taken lightly and requires a great deal of support and time from you and your future mindDog.

ASSESSMENTS

After applying to have a mindDog, you will have a range of assessments and sessions with trainers and assessors.
