Gambling Harm & Awareness Week 2024

11 November 2024

This week is Gambling Harm Awareness Week – 11-17 November, 2024.

While gambling can be entertaining, it can also lead to individual and social harms. Gambling harm is about more than just losing money. It’s any negative consequence caused by or made worse by gambling. This can include impacts on relationships, employment or study as well as negative effects that can damage the health or wellbeing of individuals, families and communities.

We encourage our venue patrons to reflect on the role gambling may play in your lives. Let’s connect with what really matters, including friendships, family, special interests and hobbies. Embrace life beyond gambling.

If you find yourself experiencing harm from gambling, including by someone else’s gambling, help is available. Speak to our supportive staff or visit www.everystorymatters.act.gov.au to find out about the range of online, phone and face to face supports available.

Get social with us.
