Be Ahead of the Game: a school education program about gambling and gaming

Be Ahead of the Game is a school education program to help young people understand the risks associated with gambling and gaming.

Drawing on the latest research into young people’s participation in, and attitudes towards, gambling and gaming, the program helps young people think critically about the current marketing and technology landscape that is making gambling increasingly visible, enticing, and accessible to young people.

The whole-of-school approach of Be Ahead of the Game empowers teachers, parents, carers, and students to better understand the issues and support each other.
