Delta Therapy Dogs

Delta Therapy Dogs is a national non-profit organisation. Our purpose is to help animals and people bring joy to each other.

We believe that the human-animal bond improves our quality of life and leaves lasting paw prints on our hearts.

There is a special kinship shared between dogs and people of all ages. Attention from a dog can brighten your day, make you feel loved and, as has been scientifically proven to improve overall health and well-being.

Our programs include visits to hospitals, aged care homes, mental health facilities, dementia wards, palliative care, disability services, health clinics, schools, correctional facilities and workplaces. 

We are now expanding our offering to mental health service providers who appreciate the therapeutic health benefits that therapy dogs can offer their beneficiaries.  Program partners will be trained and supported to work with Delta in a collaborative model of canine assisted psychotherapy, meaning health professionals will work alongside our specially assessed and trained therapy dog teams to deliver mental health supports to adults.  https://www.deltasociety.com.au/animal-assisted-therapy

Our volunteer therapy dog teams brighten the lives of approximately 20,000 people around Australia each week.
