If you or someone you know is having gambling issues, Gambler's Help is available
Supporting Victorians affected by gambling
The Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation is here to support people affected by gambling harm, including family and friends. We take a public health approach to our work, which means we focus on prevention, early intervention and support for those who are particularly vulnerable to gambling harm as well as those living in regional and rural communities.
We fund and work closely with organisations across Victoria to provide free and confidential Gambler’s Help services to people experiencing harm from their own or someone else’s gambling.

'Call someone who gets it' TV commercial
'Call someone who gets it' is our new awareness campaign to encourage people to speak to a counsellor who gets gambling harm. Counselling can help people change the way they think and feel about themselves and their participation in gambling.
Gambling Harm Awareness Week
During Gambling Harm Awareness Week, we highlighted how the brain is stimulated and affected by gambling.
Because the more you understand, the easier it is to change.

Love the Game, Not the Odds

Gambling advertising is changing the way we see sport. The amount of advertising we are being exposed to on a daily basis would make it seem like gambling is now just a normal part of sport. Our Love the Game Program aims to counter the normalisation of gambling in sport.
