Gambling Help

South Australian gambling activity continues to grow with 534 lottery outlets, one casino, 12,581 electronic gaming machines across 569 venues and 344 TAB outlets.

For the majority of the adult population gambling is a pastime and social activity. However for an estimated 2.8% (almost 33,000) of adults, gambling has a harmful impact on finances, relationships, work life and personal health. The Institute coordinates a range of services to help raise awareness of problem gambling and to help workers in this sector.

• Consumer Voice Project – providing training to speakers to talk about their gambling experiences.
• Gamblers' Rehabilitation Fund Training Service – providing training to gambling help workers.
• PEACE Multicultural Gambling Help Service – helping CALD communities understand problem gambling.
