Most people in First Nations communities play the pokies or have a bet without any trouble. But for some people, gambling causes money problems, stress and arguments in the family.

If you are worried about gambling talk to someone you trust about your worries. Some First Nations organisations have gambling workers you can yarn with – to find them click here.

To learn more about our approach to working with First Nations communities, visit the Strategic directions page of the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation website.

The factsheets on this page have some good information about dealing with a gambling worry. You can read them online or print them to share with others.
