GambleAware

We offer hour-long sessions on a weekly basis, usually over a two-to-three-month period, depending on your needs.

In these sessions we will:

• explore how gambling has impacted your life
• look at your personal beliefs about gambling
• work with you to develop your treatment goals, and
• address any other problems you might be experiencing such as anxiety, depression and relationship issues.

Our approach is effective for the majority of our clients, even for those people who have been gambling for decades.

Call us now on 1800 482 482 for no cost and we can provide confidential gambling treatment with a specialist psychologist or counsellor. No referral is necessary, but you do need to make an appointment.

We offer free, independent, and confidential financial counselling to anyone having difficulties managing money.

GambleAware Financial Counsellors can help clients deal with a range of financial topics like budgeting, debt and saving. They are non-judgmental, qualified professionals who provide information, support and advocacy to people in financial difficulty.

How can Financial Counsellors help?

• Assess your financial situation
• Provide information about credit and debt issues
• Help you develop a plan to improve your situation
• Advocate & negotiate on your behalf
• Help you understand your rights
• Refer you to other services if necessary

Call us now on 1800 482 482 to make an appointment with a GambleAware Financial Counsellor.

Please note, Financial Counsellors are not legal advisors, mortgage brokers, financial planners, investment advisors, tax accountants or money lenders.

We also offer counselling to partners and family members. We aim to help you support your loved one as they face their gambling difficulties, as well as guide you on how to look after yourself through this difficult process.

We have a profound respect for the dignity and privacy of our clients. We are also committed to developing culturally appropriate counselling responses to enhance the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and people from all cultures and backgrounds.

At GambleAware, we are aware that gambling affects Indigenous Peoples and their communities at higher rates than individuals from other cultural backgrounds. That’s why we are committed to developing culturally sensitive counselling practices of the highest standards, to enhance the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
