Harm from gambling impacts not only people who gamble but also their loved ones, communities and workplaces. In addition, that harm extends beyond high-risk gamblers – Victorian studies have shown that low and moderate risk gambling accounts for 85% of gambling harm. North East Healthy Communities recognises that people who have overcome the effects of gambling harm have considerable expertise on the issue, which is of value to others. Many of these people want to share their story to lend hope and inspiration to others and bring the often hidden experience of harm from gambling into the open.
The Reducing Gambling Frequency Project is a prevention and intervention project funded by the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation (VRGF). Implementation of the project commenced in February 2015 and this report relates to the period February to May2015. The intention of the project was to reduce gambling frequency of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) seniors groups that recreate at electronic gaming machine (EGMs) venues. The Healthwest Partnership worked in partnership with the six key ethnic community organisations.
This training manual is designed to raise awareness and reduce the frequency of gambling in culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities in Victoria. It has been developed to support communities to take action to reduce harm caused by gambling.
