Gambling rehabilitation

South Australian gambling activity continues to grow with 531 lottery outlets, one casino, 15,018 electronic gaming machines and 371 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. We provide a range of services to support people affected by problem gambling, raise community awareness of problem gambling and assist the gambling help sector to minimise harm caused by gambling.

The Australian Institute of Social Relations coordinates a range of services to help with problem gambling and workers in this sector:

• Consumer Voice Project
• Gamblers' Rehabilitation Fund Training Service
• PEACE Multicultural Gambling Help Service

Gambling Help Services are funded by the Gamblers’ Rehabilitation Fund, which is administered through the South Australian Government Department for Families and Communities.
