Gambler's Help

Gambler’s Help services are provided by a range of community organisations across metropolitan, regional and rural Victoria.

Our services include online, telephone and face-to-face counselling, advice and information. There are also services tailored for First Nations communities, and in-language support for at-risk culturally and linguistically diverse communities.

Gambler’s Help services cover:

• counselling, including specific financial counselling
• peer support from volunteers with personal experience of gambling harm
• community education about the early signs of gambling harm and how to access support
• support for gaming venue staff so they can identify and respond to gambling harm
• integration with other health services to provide a seamless experience for people seeking support.
