What's gambling costing you?

Distracted on date night?

Getting behind at work?

Losing sleep?

GambleAware Week is an annual initiative to increase awareness of gambling and gambling harm in the community.

It’s an opportunity to increase the community’s understanding of risky gambling behaviour, encourage gamblers to recognise when their gambling may place them at risk of harm, and provide information on practical ways to keep their gambling under control.

This year, the theme is "What’s gambling costing you?". We are encouraging people to think about the costs of gambling not only on their finances but also the impacts on health, relationships, or careers.

Dr Anastasia Hronis, clinical psychologist and founder of the Australian Institute for Human Wellness ran a webinar. Anastasia's main area of clinical practice and research is in gambling.

In this webinar Dr Anastasia Hronis discussed:

- gambling in Australia

- land based vs online gambling

- gambling related harms and how we might be able to identify that someone is struggling

- relevant treatments and ways to help someone struggling with gambling

This webinar is open to the general public, as well as health and mental health practitioners wanting to increase their knowledge about gambling, gambling related harms and relevant treatment approaches.
