GambleAware Week

GambleAware week was held from 20-26 October 2025.

The campaign, There’s more to lose than money, helped people understand the risks of gambling and the impacts it can have, from relationship strain and missed life experiences to overall wellbeing. It encouraged conversations about what gambling is really costing communities across NSW.

There was a lot of activity throughout the week, with extensive media coverage and events across the state, including community workshops, information stalls and staff engagement sessions.

These initiatives brought together GambleAware services, industry and community members to raise awareness of the impacts of gambling and the GambleAware services available.
