Prevention Partnerships Program
The Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation’s Prevention Partnerships Program aims to help prevent and reduce gambling-related harm within local communities across Victoria.
The Prevention Partnerships Program has been operating since 2014 and has funded a wide range of community-based, not-for-profit, local government and public health organisations to test new ideas and build evidence for effective practice in the prevention of gambling harm.
Diverse groups in urban and regional Victoria run projects that build social connection and resilience to prevent and reduce gambling harm in local communities and among at-risk groups. These projects also aim to break down the stigma around gambling harm and encourage people affected by gambling to seek advice and support.
Find out about the 2019–2021 projects.
