Delta Society Australia is a national not-for-profit organisation with one core belief: that the human-animal bond remarkably improves our quality of life and leaves a lasting paw print on our hearts.
Through our world class Delta Therapy Dogs program, our amazing and devoted Therapy Dog Teams bring joy to the lives of an estimated 20,000 Australians in hospitals and care facilities every week. Over 850 volunteers and their special dogs making regular visits to children's hospitals, adult hospitals, nursing homes and mental health facilities to offer the wonderful benefits of pet therapy, spend time with patients and offer a chat, a floppy ear to listen and a paw to shake.
OUR MISSION IS…
...to promote and facilitate positive interaction between people and companion animals.
OUR VISION IS…
...to be recognised as the national leader in animal assisted therapies and positive, reward-based approaches to companion animal training.
Delta delivers on its mission and vision through four core programs
- Delta Therapy Dogs
- Delta Dog Safe
- Classroom Canines
- The Certificate IV in Companion Animal Services
