Gamblers Help Services and Education Programs

Anglicare Tasmania provides free Gamblers Help Support Services and manages a range of Community Education Programs.

Our services provide support not just to those who are experiencing problem behaviours, but also for those directly impacted, such as friends and families.

Anglicare Tasmania also runs a range of community education programs and initiatives to bring more awareness of the issue and its impacts.  Our goal is to encourage more open discussion and reduce the stigma associated with gambling harm.

Gamble Aware Month

Every September we hold Gamble Aware Month.  We encouraged everyone to talk openly about gambling and the related harms to the Tasmanian community.

By sharing information and talking opening about this issue you can help to reduce the stigma around gambling harm and seeking support.

Watch out for the launch of the 2024 Gamble Aware Month shortly.

Anglicare Tasmania’s Gamblers Help program has created an easy to use and understand online training program.

This training is suitable for anyone in the community who would like to understand gambling and gambling related harm.  It is especially helpful for those that think that someone they know or they themselves are experiencing gambling harm.

The training covers:

• What gambling is and the many forms it can take
• How to recognise gambling harm
• How to respond to and seek support for gambling harm
