The Royal Society for the Blind (RSB) is a not-for-profit organisation providing services to over 11,000 South Australians who are blind or vision impaired.

The RSB was founded by Andrew Whyte Hendry (who was blinded as a child) and Sir Charles Goode in 1884 as the Institute for the Blind when they started an industrial school, it became the Royal Institute for the Blind in 1903 and the Royal Society for the Blind in 1974.

The RSB has an Adaptive Technology Centre and a Low Vision Centre located at 230 Pirie Street, Adelaide.

The Adaptive Technology Centre is the first of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere and houses the latest computerised and non-computerised equipment designed for people who are blind or vision impaired. People are able to trial and train on the latest equipment which includes talking appliances, electronic magnification and modified computers. This service is supported by a loan pool and grant scheme

The Low Vision Centre is the first point of contact for people who are experiencing severe sight loss and a referral is required from an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist. The LVC enables people to optimise their remaining vision by providing information about their sight loss, lighting and magnification advice.
