Gambling harm isn't always easy to recognise, and talking about it can be even harder.
This GambleAware Week, we're joining communities across NSW to raise awareness of gambling harm, reduce stigma and encourage open, supportive conversations.
Gambling harm can affect more than just finances. It can impact relationships, emotional wellbeing and everyday life, not only for individuals but also for their families and loved ones.
By recognising the signs, starting conversations and knowing where to find support, we can help make a positive difference in our community.
Support is available
If you or someone you know is experiencing gambling-related harm, you don't have to face it alone.
GambleAware provides free, confidential counselling and support services for individuals, families and loved ones affected by gambling.
