Guide Dogs Vic OT Program - Cook to Connect

Cooking may sound exciting for some, and scary for others. No matter where you are in your cooking journey, whether you are learning how to cook with recent vision loss, or wanting to explore how to start cooking, our Occupational Therapists will be there to support you.

This group program runs over 2 hours at our new Client kitchen where you can learn basic cooking skills or improve your current cooking skills to support your independence and safety in the home. Share your recipes and cuisines with each other and find out what meals and baked goods to add to your repertoire. The last session, Festive Roast, will be 3 hours at a cost of $226 to cover the extra time for a festive themed recipe and celebration.

The amount of $129 per person (18th Oct, 1st Nov, 22nd Nov) and $226 per person (6th Dec), per session will be invoiced to your chosen funding support post event.
