Community Engagement Program

Gambling can create significant challenges not only for individuals but also for families and communities. Our community engagement practitioners specialising in gambling support play a pivotal role in building awareness, resilience, and creating environments that empower communities to address gambling-related issues. Our community engagement practitioners deliver education and health promotion activities across Yarra, Melbourne, Moonee Valley and Merri-Bek.

They support local community members by:

Raising awareness of the types of harm people can experience from gambling
Build connections with local communities to understand the challenges they face regarding gambling
Advocate for responsible gambling practices by collaborating with local policy makers and community leaders
Increasing understanding of available support services
Support the development of peer support groups, community forums and networks that provide ongoing engagement
Promoting the range of services available through Gamblers Help
Reducing stigma and barriers to seeking help by ‘starting the conversation’
