Find out more about the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation.
Resources to help professionals identify problem gambling clients and respond to their needs.
To help promote responsible gambling, we partner with high-profile sporting and public health organisations around Victoria.
Our partnerships help us to reach groups of people who may be vulnerable to risky gambling behaviours, such as young men and sports fans, with tailored messages. Our partners have also become leaders in promoting responsible gambling within their organisations.
Supporting our partnerships, we have a number of spokespeople, including high profile sporting figures, academics, counsellors and recovering problem gamblers.
In 2012, we’ve been working in partnership with a range of sporting organisations. Read more about these partnerships below.
