Wellbeing program
Vision Australia has a Wellbeing program for those who are new to vision loss or who are adjusting to changes in their life.
It could be as little as sending you some information to read. Other options include being referred to resources where you can do some self-assessment and complete courses in your own time. One of our Wellbeing Officers can guide you through the process if you need a little extra support.
