Delta Society Australia Limited

The Delta Society operates with one core belief: that the human animal bond remarkably improves our quality of
life and leaves a lasting paw print on our hearts.
Delta’s amazing and devoted Therapy Dog Teams bring joy to the lives of an estimated 20,000 Australians in
hospitals and care facilities every week. Our world class Delta Therapy Dogs program is the largest of its kind in
Australia with over 900 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.
There is a special and indescribable 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, improve your overall health
and wellbeing. A better relationship between people and dogs will lead to a more enriched and fulfilled life for
humans and dogs alike.
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.
Besides the Delta Therapy Dogs program, Delta also delivers on its mission and vision through three other core
programs:
• Delta Dog Safe™
• Classroom Canines™
• The Certificate IV in Companion Animal Services
