Free, confidential, 24-hour counselling, information and support.
For some people gambling can stop being fun and start to become a problem. It can harm them, their family and friends. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, you can talk to someone who understands what you're going through. Gambler's Help is a free, professional and confidential service funded by the Victorian Govt. Two-thirds of people seeking help from us end up gambling a lot less.

How counselling works

We can help you get control of the issues around gambling and help you find ways to deal with them.

We use a non-judgemental approach to work out your goals with you. You decide whether to cut down or quit gambling.

We can help you to understand your gambling, work on your skills and strengths and support you while you go through the process of change.

Talking about gambling with somebody you trust can also reduce stress.

Help for family and friends

Supporting someone with a gambling problem is difficult. You cannot change their behaviour - they have to be willing to change themselves.

We can help you find ways to support them and look after yourself and your family - legally, financially and emotionally.

Talking to someone with a gambling problem can be difficult. Talk to us before you talk to them.

I want to fix the problem by myself, how can a counsellor help?

A counsellor can be a great support at helping you get motivated to stay on track. They won't judge you or tell you what to do but they will help you work out whether you need to make a change. They can also help with some strategies to quit or cut down and provide some tips for getting through the first few days when the urge is strongest.
