Gambling harm is a significant problem in Australia, but the problem is worst in NSW. There is growing momentum for change, including in research and reporting.
There are few people working in this space, and Wesley Mission is the only organisation purely campaigning in NSW.
Wesley Mission was the first to deliver gambling counselling services in Australia, and previous generations of leaders have been committed to this cause – it is in our DNA and now is the time for change.
Wesley Mission acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Australia’s First Peoples. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the original and ongoing Custodians of the lands and waters on which we all live and work. We recognise the continuing sovereignty of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the Australian States and Territories where we have a presence, and their absolute right to self-determination. We pay our respects to all Elders – past, present and emerging – and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website may contain images or names of people who have since passed away.
