Gambling Help Service


Our Gambling Help Service offers assistance to all people who are affected by problem gambling.

Gambling can become a problem when it consumes more money and time than a person can afford, and begins to affect other aspects of their lives, such as their psychological and emotional well being, relationships with family and friends, finances, work and other leisure activities.

If you are concerned about your own gambling or you are worried about a family member or friend’s gambling, and you are not sure what to do… we can help you.

Consumer Voice Project

Often, when people have overcome problem gambling they can be keen to help others. The Consumer Voice Project provides opportunity for people to share their journey into and beyond problem gambling with other individuals, groups and organisations.

Participants undertake some training in public speaking and responding to questions whilst being part of a peer group to support their own relapse prevention. These speakers offer the gambling sector the opportunity to learn from consumer experiences and perspectives. They also contribute to therapeutic counselling sessions and community awareness workshops.
