Who is this for?

Gamblers Rehabilitation Fund Training Service (GRFTS) is for professionals working within the Gambling Help service sector .

About this program

GRFTS provides Gambling Help workers and services with opportunities to explore and learn about a range of current therapeutic models of intervention. We also encourage the development of a reflective workforce that is able to seek news and information about responding to the harm of gambling.

Given the extent of gambling harm within the population, GRFTS has also worked with the broader community services sector to increase awareness of gambling and its associated harms and to encourage links and collaboration with Gambling Help services sector.

Gambling harm is complex and has far-reaching consequences for individuals, families and communities. As a response to this, GRFTS has worked to ensure that:

• Choice and diversity of intervention models are maintained
• Services are flexible and responsive to client needs
• Collaboration across the sector benefits clients
• Responses to complex needs and issues other than gambling are provided
• Awareness of gambling harm is increased
• Harm minimisation is promoted
