Submission to the Parliamentary Standing Committee of Public Accounts Review of the Community Support Levy

In this submission Anglicare focuses on the distribution of the section of the Levy dealing with problem gambling and other health issues and in particular the level of research funded through the CSL. Anglicare argues that while some excellent initiatives are being funded through the the Levy, some essential services regarding gambling, and in particular research into gambling problems and advertising of problem gambling services, have not received sufficient funding. It calls for greater commitment to fund research with the goal to improve policy outcomes and the re-establishment of the Research Committee to oversee research funding.
