Last week, we brought the community together at Raintree Park for our Gambling Harm Awareness Week Community Expo!

It was fantastic to have so many great conversations with Territorians about the impacts of gambling, why gambling harm is a significant issue in our community, and where to turn for support if gambling is affecting you or someone you care about.

A huge thank you to Anglicare NT, The Salvation Army NT, NT Lived Experience Network, Darwin Community Legal Service and Services Australia for joining us and helping make the day such a success.

Gambling is a public health issue, and it takes a community approach to reduce gambling related harm. We're grateful to have such great services working alongside us to support Territorians.

Here are a few highlights from the day!

Our launch event was a huge success today. The insightful lived experience stories and Q&A from the Three Sides of The Coin (3SoC) Project sparked many conversations about lived experiences of gambling harm, gambling regulation and safer gambling practices. This is exactly what we hope to achieve by coming together - connection and conversations from all angles of gambling harm.
