Dog Walking

Social Support Individual

If you live in Boroondara and are struggling to walk your dog due to physical or cognitive decline, Balwyn Evergreen Centre is here to help.


We offer a dog-walking service, which is part of our volunteer program, to ensure Boroondara's K9 companions continue to be exercised and socialised. Our volunteers can also help with basic grooming –
brushing and washing – if needed.


Both our clients and volunteers benefit from making important new connections and often forge lasting friendships.


This service is part of the:

  • Commonwealth Home Support Package (CHSP) for those aged 65 and over

  • State Government Home and Community Care Program (HACC) for those aged under 65 


All our volunteers undergo a screening and induction process.
For more information on what this service involves and how to access it, please contact us today on 03 9836 9681 or
email volunteer@balwynevergreen.org.au.

“We have been walking dogs for five years and have found joy in both the dogs and the owners” -
